Hello everyone, I recently moved up North (Maryland from Georgia), and I am
wanting to buy a project/autocross car. It needs to be cheap (around $1000),
and parts should be readily available and cheap. I also plan to use this as a
backup car so it needs to be in reasonable shape and remain street legal (for
the time being). I want it for tinkering/upgrading. I was wondering what
everyone thought would be a good choice. I was thinking of maybe a VW GTi ('83
or '84), 1st gen RX-7, or maybe a Porsche 914 or something. I would like to
set up the car to be in Solo II, Solo I, with the occasional road race, track
day, or maybe even a hillclimb. I currently drive an AWD 323 GTX so I might
lean more towards RWD for a weekend racer, but at the same time, I really like
the GTi for parts availability and reliability. I've already read some of the
interesting articles in Grassroots, I just wanted some real world insights.
Oh, does anyone know of a good local region? I am in Cumberland, Md (western
Md), and new to the area.
Thanks in advance,
clay mclendon
