scenario

ok look, here's my scenario... i have an extremely reliable daily driver, so keeping that in mind. my dad is sending me an old benze that's in CHERRY condition, and i could sell it for aout 9, maybe 10 grand... now my stepdad and I want to start a project car, any suggestions? i was thinking #1 on the list was 240SX SR/CA/RB swap because i've always been a DIE HARD fan (mmm rwd), or maybe (dare i say the H word?) a 92-95 civic hatch with B16? any other odd ideas are welcome, this may not even happen but just for shits and grins please let me know.

i am more partioal to the 240sx.
but so you know, if you take a 92-95 civic, drop a h22a in there, with better mounting brackets, the car will run 13's. with bigger tires obviously.
