hi mate welcome to the club, you should be able to get a nice little runner for that money especially standard. just go on autotrader or pistonheads there are loads of traders and private sellers selling nice ones. first mod wise- dependant or were you get it from give it a service make sure the cambelts etc has been done, upgrade to grooved disks and get some uprated pads, then you can start to up the power- full exhaust, uprated panel filter, could get some lowering springs or coilovers depends how much you want to spend. take care of the little things or they will come back much bigger and cost alot more to fix.
