Hey fellas

I'm wanting to build a car that I can use as a daily driver

so function and cost are going to be top priority I'm considering

either an 83 camaro with a 5 speed or a 92 caprice. Which would be

a better project that I can drive during the week and work on during

the weekend? So in your opinion which would better suit my needs

and why? Also who makes good suspension component's for third

gen's sorry if I seem naive but if you have experience with these

any info would be helpful

Thanks in advance.

Oh well the caprice is listed because I have a full hotchkis suspension for one which would save me money and I just like camaro's plus its the right asking price and has a 5 speed and is more modern then most other stuff. Plus a 92 doesnt have a lt1 so I could put in a regular smallblock easily. I don't have smog laws so I am free to run true duals and everything on the caprice and camaro

As it will be a daily driver do you want something you and more than one other person would be comfortable riding in? If so I would go for the Caprice. The B-Bodies can be made to handle quite well without a great deal of cash.
