Thanks for the responses. Yeah I've been looking at carsales but as you said they're mostly turnkey cars which go for more.
What I'm after:
-Don't want to have to do too much body work, panels need to be mostly straight
-As little rust as possible. Much more important than a straight body obviously
-Mileage doesn't matter as I'll be putting a new engine in
-If it's got a v6 then it'll more than likely stay in the car and I'll work on it
-Don't mind if the interior needs a bit of work. Even though it's expensive, it's good fun
-RWC would be dreamy! but obviously not going to bank on it
Budget (without giving it too much thought):
Depending on what's on offer really. For a good rolling shell - probably 3-5k
Good shell with a v6 but poor interior, poor brakes & shocks etc 5-9k maybe
Budget will depend on the car so it's flexible..don't want to put too many restrictions down..they're hard enough to find as is.
Might even end up importing from NZ. anyone know of someone who's done this?
