Shop Class Ideas??

Hey guys, didn't really know where to post this, kinda stupid question. Well I just dropped chemistry and picked up shop for next semester .
Anyways, I want to make something for my car for my big project. Any ideas on what I could do? I have access to a welder, but not much $$$. I was thinking maybe something like a STB? what do ya think?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

A Snowblower attachment for the thirdgen, ...and ... some chains for the back tires. Then you could go around and charge people to do their driveway.

Anytime I've seen 3rd gens with snowblowers on them the owner's have always complained about the car being a little bit nose heavy and having a tendancy toward overstear. The usual solution is to fill the trunk with concrete but that's a bit permenant and not so good in the summer when you remeove the blower. Maybe just try a small plow for the front that way you could probably get away with just a few sand bags in the back which can be removed in the summer.
