Default Whats your cheap fun project?

A conversation I had last night lead to three people giving three completely different answers as what they would build as a cheap, and fun project. Keep in mind this isnt a dream build up but just something you would put together just for thrashing around in and having a good time for little coin a third car if you will. So I want to know whats your cheap thrillmobile? Well say lets keep the whole build under 10,000 including car.

I said MK1 Mr2 NA not much it would need but some maintenance and maybe basic brake and wheel/tire upgrades. I had one a while back, it cost me barely any money at all, and I had LOTS of fun with it.

Roommate 1 said he would do up an Integra.

Roommate 2 said Fox-Body Mustang.

I also said that a Cherokee would be a lot of fun as well, and can be had dirt cheap already lifted.

I would have a 92 Plymouth Laser Turbo AWD. It's the least popular of the DSM's and I miss my old one.
