If you need to keep busy and want things to break often so you can fix them can I suggest you get hold of a well used R129, preferably not the V8 as they are too reliable. The interiors of the R129 should keep you busy every day replacing the bits that fall of in your hands. also you might find a six pot that needs a new head gasket and wire harness, better still make sure you get a 5 speed auto box as they throw up a few issues.
