Lightbulb What to do, what to do...........A car for $65

I hate rice just as much or mroe than the next guy and so do all my buddies , however; we got a steal on a car today. It's a 94 Hyundai Excel w/ 56k on the motor and we got it for 65 bucks. The only reason we bought it was to practice paint and bodywork because it's fugly as sin to start with and the front fender on the driverside is totally jacked. But then we started wondering what else we could do to it just for fun. First on the list is Air-Ride...it'll be really easy since it has springs front and back. We're also gutting the interior all the way to the metal and going from the ground up. There's a big side window behind the doors on both sides, those will get welded up and bondo'd. It's bascially just something to goof off with.......Since I know absolutely NOTHING about imports. Anyone here got some more ideas? I want to see what you guys would do with it if you had something like that play with. And no, burning it to the ground doesn't count, lol. We want to put a 350/350 in it, but we've never done a Fwd to Rwd conversion. If you want to know what this ugly *** car looks like hitup cardomain and look for Hyundai Excels, there are also one or two near the top of the list under Accent..............So, while you guys come up with some ideas, the sawzall is gonna make sweet love this little pile of crap.

Thanks for the input guys. Nice car Dock, lol.....that thing come with a free tetnis shot? Anywho, we started on it this afternoon for a few hours and we stripped the inside, all that's left is the dash, door panels, shifter, and E-brake.....the rest is bare metal. As soon as I can get the pictures off my buddies camera I will post up some updates for kicks and giggles. Found some videos of possible ideas....you may have already seen them. A couple are really funny........
