gotta start off by saying welcome mate! the BA is certainly the pick of the models in my opinion :P im not sure when they started with the f-series gearbox but pretty sure it is late 95. i picked up my 95 model with 120k on it for 9000, so u could probably push a bit lower for price.

the 4 would be better imo also, as it is easier to change spark plugs and you will also see slightly better fuel consumption. i say slight because after babying mine for about 2 months it didnt get below 9.8L/100km. it probably isnt too bad but it wasnt wat i expected.

in terms of mods you have certainly come to the right place, there is a wealth of information on this forum, just search!!

i have 6 1/2 components in the front of mine. just made up a mdf baffle cut around the original 5x7 and cut holes for the woofer & tweeter. took about 1/2 hour and i have never used a saw b4!!! i am not sure about running cable but it really shouldnt differ from any other car i imagine

hope i helped
