Cheap beater project car?

If you had $1000-$2000 to buy a beater that you knew you were gonna have to do minor to significant repairs on in order to get it to good daily driving condition. What car would you look for?

This would be purely for a project car. It doesn’t have to be fun. The main goal is something reliable like for a college student. Doesn’t necessarily need to be a Honda or a Toyota. open to ideas. Bonus points if you can think of something that is reliable and fun that a younger person would enjoy.
