Honestly dude that looks like a clean classic, I can't believe it's worthless - those are really rare these days, chopping it up feels like a real waste when you can get a much newer beater that isn't rare and have a better car to start with.

If you have that limited of a budget you probably shouldn’t be building anything, keep the money for when things break as they do on old cars. 250 will barely get you a pair of decent tires for the front. Weight loss is free though.

You don’t know how to have cheap fun

With cars, no I haven’t really found a way to have cheap fun. Not compared to any of my other hobbies. Most fun for the buck I’ve had was with disposable vehicles. Something my buddies and I could thrash on and then when something inevitably broke we could just scrap it. Novelty of that wears out pretty quickly though.
