My wife would be happy for me to sell you (or anyone else)
my Pontiac Fiero.  The engine is already out.  It has A/C
and is in good shape.  A/C on a fiero converison is
questionable though.  It's an ideal vehicle for conversion
(it's light, sturdy, has lots of aftermarket parts and a
cult following).  It has little rust, and none of it is
visible (body is plastic).  There are some things that it
needs.  There are numerous examples of Fiero conversion on
the internet; just google'em.  This car does have a small
trunk, which btw I firmly believe can be preserved (instead
of being used for extra battery storage space like most
other conversions).    I've held on to it out of endearment,
and I would love to see a warp motor/zilla controller in
this baby, but I've got other projects going on.
I'm in east Austin.
Other than that info, a small japanese car like Honda civic
or Nissan sentra are your best bets.

Thanks,
Tom
