Help, need idea for good first car to mod under 5k i.e Eclipse, 240sx, civic, mustang?

Question:
i want to find a car to fix up in my spare time and i am willing to put the work and money into it. also my dad is a mechanic so the work dosent scare me. all suggestions are welcomed, please consider how much it costs to mod it.

Answers:

Is there a site i can go on to find cars for sale by personal owners in my area?

If you look hard enough you may be able to find an old 240 sx with a SR20DET already swapped in. This is a common mod. this is probably the best bang for your buck. Eclipse's are good for tuners, you can just google Eclipse and find the recipe for 400hp. AWD is a must. You do not want a Honda, 5k wouldn't buy you what you want. As for mustangs, 5-speed, low miles, 3.73 gears, X-pipe, NOS, drag radials. These cars are that easy, 5k will not get you a decent stang. I would go for the drifters delight, the 240 with a SR20 already swapped

Which car should i get please help.?

depends. 3 of those you can get for cheap., Mustangs you arent goina get cheap.all these cars are good platforms. I would pick the Eclipse or 240. I 100% dispise Hondas. you dont wanna be a ricer. for 5K you could get the 240 with the SR swap,or the GSX DSM casue it all depends. if you wanna do nice smokey burn outs you want the 240, if you wanna drag race do the Eclipse.
