So... I started a bet with a group of friends that we could all build fun & fruity little french track cars each for under a grand!
So i started with a £100 saxo VTR and so far have spent £50 on some wheels from bash, and £20 on some tyres from work, then another £150 for a donor vehicle from work... Currently well within budget!
Current spec (some parts i already had lying around and fitted)
1.6 8v 100bhp motor
4 branch tubular exhaust manifold
Supersprint 2" decat exhaust system
Lowered excessively all round
Powdercoated yellow cyclones with 185/55/15 budget tyres
Gti6 front brakes 283mm
Full interior.
Future spec (before pugfest mostly)
1.6 16v 120bhp motor (from donor saxo VTS)
4 branch tubular exhaust manifold
Supersprint 2" decat exhaust system
Lowered 50mm all round
Powdercoated yellow clones with 195/45/15 federal SS595 tyres
Wilwood 4pot midilite calipers with 280mm discs
Stripped interior with bucket seats & 4 point harnesses
Strut braces
Some pics of how it stands currently and the donor VTS

The idea is to make a cheap and disposable track / general hooning car and attend as many possible events etc with it and the lads as a group
