as most of you know , my poor pearlie suffered some major injuries

ive been told of another pearlie that i can get for cheaper then it will cost to fix my one

should i buy it and keep mine for parts and to sell some parts and use the rest for future modifications ?
eg. re upholstering of seats , rigoli racing performance build , mock up of 5 speed to get fitment of clutch set up right , replacement of windscreen when i need it

etc
???

sounds to me like this is the way to go...sacrifice one to save another

At some times i wish i had kept the one I sold and made a 4:44 out of it and moded the hell out of it too. No space no time and a wife that would not let me do it

I'll go you halves.

I've been considering finding a spare car for a while now.

Or I could go the other way and finally give in and admit I don't have the time to finish restoring mine... and offer it up for sale instead...

Whatever you decide is a parts car.

Just keep in mind that whatever you do, you could recover some costs by flogging off parts to me.

In fact just noticed a spot of rust on sunroof, so now I need to make a repair/replace decision for that too.
