the auction places, pickles etc have heaps of cheap cars, might cost a little more then a slab, but i am sure you will pick up something to suit your needs.

got to your local wrecker. make sure he has an LMCT and go through his yard. they are always getting cars in and some are often in decent condition.
we bought a Meteor off our wrecker for $150 and spent a whole $8 in parts to get it to RWC.
