The Volvo for sure.

But I would do the 940 wagon instead, much better platform.

and the last of the RWD Volvos.

Mitsubishi L300 with a 1UZ? Cheap to do. Used to be a few getting around in NZ. Being only a 4l with not much chop in standard form should see it being easily engineered? And you can even buy pre-fabbed bellhousings for manual 'R' or 'W'-series Toyota manual boxes.

i'm tempted to look at a XD or XE DJR replica (or tribute) myself. only $$ stop me doing it (to do it properly).
