Corsa GSI loads of parts cheap power and lots of parts are interchangable with Nova.

Iv'e got a few quid in mine now and used to have a Pug309 GTI then a Nova GTE on 45s and the Corsa is much better. IMO

106 XSi would be a good shout, cheap, quick and easy to find.

Go for either a 106 or 205 and keep it under 1400cc & 8v.

id say a 106/ax or metro...all light cars, corsa's are meant to be great...seen a few at the rally show few weeks back standard X14XE blocks winning in their class if its a project though you could get a metty and drop a big lump in 6r4 style...they had a replica at the show with a cosworth lump in it

although looking at piston heads just seem to be able to get some decent 205s with mi6 engine in them at moment for cheap...but woteva car u take rally its all gonna cost alot im sure haha
