(very) cheap runaround suggestions

[sparks]

Hi all,
I may need a very verycheap runaround in the new year, and have two general options:
Reliable (if boring) jap/german (eg corolla/golf)
or
metro GTi 16v

Before anyone laughs at the metro, I am seriously considering building a GTM libra, and the metro is the donor.

So the question is, any recommendations as to cheap reliable 'a to b' cars if I decide against the GTM?

Thanks

Sparks

Thanks people,

I've had a golf driver in the past, so that may well be the best option.
Not too keen on barges, and I would go for a saab 9000 if I did.

Thanks again
