What would you get for a good project car?

I would get a Supra... 94-96 and of course a TT...
Do the ever so popular 1 turbo conversion to start, and keep going from there... Veilside kit, 19" Volks, Custom Exhaust, Custom paint, Custom interior (as in Gutted :D) and blow the tires off anything on the road...
Of course I can't afford all that so... I might settle for a late 80's CRX with a b16 swap...:)

I think project car implies not spending $100G on car plus mods. It also usually means you're going to do the work yourself.
A friend of mine said he knows someone we can buy an old 4wd Peugeot from for hella cheap. We're thinking rally car. :) That's a project car.
Old american muscle cars always make for good project cars. Nissan 240s seem popular as well for project cars these days. If it's not fuel injected and doesn't have a computer chances are it would make a good project car.
Personally, i'd get a 69-71 Chevelle. I like how they look and they aren't too expensive for one in decent shape.

I would like to find a torn MR2 or RX7 and restore it all myself.

I would either like a '93-94 Talon TSI & re-work the engine, larger injectors, port&polish job on intake&exhasut ports & the head, rims, body kit, paint job, interior, full system all in all something fast and fun
OR
MR2 & do everything mentioned above.
