    A sub 500 dollar '02 in Massachutsetts is going to resemble the flintstonemobile.

    hey, one good thing about british engineering is they perfected cars where there are no oil changes necessary

    they leak so bad the oil never gets dirty. seriously.

    If you are bored, I would join good gym and start working on your own body, best project for under $500

    2002 is a great choice. Or triumph spitfire, just because they make me all gooey inside.

    I have a spitfire project with a 13B that I havent touched in a few years. Rotarys confuse me.

    2002's are awesome, but get expensive pretty quickly... But all projects are that way. I'd honestly go MG if you want something different and something fun. But an MG could get expensive quickly as well. I'd check for common parts and see if their cheap or if their expensive and go from there.
