Default buying a track car

ive received a bit of money for my birthday and im after a cheap and cheerful (under 2 grand) track car. im an engine builder so not worried about the engine condition but i would like a car that has already been converted into a track car with seats, harnesses etc which would save me time and money. ive had a look on piston heads motorsport classifieds but i dont know where else to look. any advice would be appreciated
