i know opinions are like a**holes, but i want to see em anyway.
i have 2 74 2002s
car 1
turbo flares, e36 sport seats, ireland eng sway bars, big brake upgrade. newish paint job, some nicks and dings, replacement trunk welded in after the original was crushed, and rusty floor pans.
I'm currently building an m10 with a 318 head, standalone ecu, and the turboz. along with a sweet 5 speed and lsd.
then comes along car #2
[no pics yet]
a engine-less body with amazing original, or possible respray, pastelblau paint, complete but disassembled interior, with spotless original seats.
I really love the turbo look, but i have some appreciation for stock with nice shiny trim and bumpers.
my options:
1) use car #1 as parts for a rebuild of #2, put in my turbo m20, leave the paint alone
2) do a full turbo bodywork upgrade on #2, then install the turbo driveline
3) put the turbo stuff in #1 and have fun with it while i spend 5 or 10 years attempting a restoration on #2 before i get tired and sell it for pennies on the dollar (the way i got it in the first place)
