best car for leaner at mechanic to mod

[willlawson]

Hi,

I'm currently looking to start a mechanics course and would like to buy a car that I could mod. (Currently have a 307 hdi :/ grim I know..)

I know i might be getting ahead of myself but its something ive always wanted to do.

Does anyone have any tips or info that might be helpful?

Well I dont have any specific car in mind just something that would be easy to get parts for I guess?

yea sorry, that's what I meant repair rather than mod bodywork and wheels.

Are their any cars that would be 'easier' to repair than others.. For example cheeper parts, easier to work in engine bay etc..

Thanks for the help..I like the sound of cleo, mini and golf.
Im not sure about budget, Fairly cheap I guess so if it goes tits up I haven't made a big loss

Thanks all,
I'll have a look at the options.. mx5 and Cleo is seeming most likely atm
