What`s FWD ?

Hi, participating in the Plymouth-Dakar challenge (a banger version of the Paris-Dakar rally for people with less money than sense!), via the Sahara desert. Have a gander at www.plymouth-dakar.co.uk
I need a clapped out but running landie, preferably diesel. I don`t mind something that needs acres of MIG on the chassis, as long as mechanicals are good enough to cheaply get it through a UK MOT before Boxing Day 2003. Here`s the rub though. I`m only allowed to spend £100 on a vehicle (but I can spend £15 on rally preparations so that`s ok!!!!). Can anyone pleeease help me out or we`ll end up going in girlfriend`s Nissan Bluebird - and that I don`t fancy.
When we get to the other end we donate any surviving vehicles to one of a number of charities and orphanages who have already expressed an interest, or flog them to the locals and give the charity the money direct. Fly home. Job done.
Cheers
