One tip for Nick (or anyone looking at a project car).
If you're particular about how your car looks (i.e. nice paint and body are important), spend the time and get a CLEAN chassis to start with. Bodywork is a PITA, and if you do it after the car is done, it'll never get done, as you'll be driving it... just my .02
Of course, if you want to be stealthy, a slightly beat up 4 cylinder Mustang is the perfect sleeper chassis. Put some widened steel wheels in tubs out back, paint all your suspension parts black, leave it dirty and go make guys cry. I do miss that about my primered RX7...

Nick,
I know a local with a C4, that they keep trying to sell. Not sure if it runs (not particularly important for you anyway I guess) but they've been trying to get rid of it for a while now, I'm sure it'd go cheap. From the look it's 85-89ish, and the body looked to be in good shape, although it BADLY needs a buff to bring the shine out.
Next time I go by I'll see if they're still selling it. It's buried in their garage right now.

yes blake-ipedia and i discussed the c4 + 2jz briefly last night it seems like it will have a higher likelihood of working, especially since they crammed 454's under the stock hood....
