Oh i've been named again? Thanks Dudeman
Personally, the choice was easy for me.
1. I'd had the car from almost new, 11yrs
2. engine hit 200,000kms, i was going to take it out and get someone to rebuild it anyway
3. It recently had a respray with all the bodykits and ICE units
4. and a perfect 3/4cut came on the market for about $6K (thanks MR2QIK) i was going to spend half of than anyway on the rebuild.
In spare parts alone i got back what i paid the mechanic (thanks Senor_2)
Added a few parts here and there to get to where i want.
