Welcome to the club, there a few one ebay at the minute. good luck with your search.
It really depends on how strong your budget is. Currently I know of cars from a running project that needs welding, mot, tax and other jobs for £1,200 to a mint tungsten grey with all the right toys for £6,500.
Your best bet is to search the usual channels:
eBay
Gumtree
Pistonheads etc etc
Or better still the classifieds section of this forum
Welcome by the way
Welcome matey. Get full memvership and bask in the pleghora of knowledge!

Says he might sell it not 100% though, does anyone know the car? Looks like the previous owner has left the club
dontknw the car but that engine the volvo b18ft is great fun to drive and usually has no issues.

Yeah i'd read similar, im gutted I missed out on the raider on here last month, it was perfect!
I know the car well and the original person who converted it, good car just needs exterior tarting up. Engine and setup easily capable of 200bhp+ just needs the mapping done properly

I no I have to become full member but is there any Renault 5 gt turbo projects about I will sign up next few days cheers malc
That was my 5 needs work mainly body work. There is a good megasquirt mapper at Surrey Rolling Road think they have moved now. Out of interest what is he offering it for?
Done think scoff mapps megasquirt. No doubt he will easily be able to do it but may be software issues and may be better finding someone knows the lay out etc...Prob best taking it to scoff on here in runcorn
