i think an orion or a different mk4, not the usual 3 door ones would be great ![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
saw an orion for sale in fast ford about a month ago (dont know if its still for sale) was £350 and looked in reasonable condition

If it's just for a project you could get a cheap tidy mk4 bonus for that, and if its a long term project it wont matter about t&t, just give it a good look over.

xr3i cabs are cheap nowadays, hardtops are going for silly money though, a 5 door mk4 can be done really nicely for very little cash, just lowered, decent 15" alloys and some 90 spec RST recaros and back seats with 90 spec matching orion door cards and leccy windows
also a 2.0 conversion is a very cheap upgrade for the mk4
edit: i mean a 2.0 zetec conversion

Never seen the attraction in a winter project, the nights are long and the garage is cold!!![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)
Summer time is better, carnt beat a long warm evening in the garage with a couple of beers.
