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. |

Oh ok. I've only seen lots of rusted window-in-a-window dividers, and not sunroof. I guess that makes that decision easier... repair it is then...
Otherwise exhaust and steering rack are the big items. |

Re: should i fix her or get another and keep her for parts ?
well i picked up another 92 pearlie today
shes got a couple of small things i would like to change there are outward facing dints in the hood im guessing from tools being left on the engine and the hood being closed so i will swap it for no.1's one the middle light brake light bar is a little out of shape i have no idea why the button on the centre console lid is missing and one of the vents is a different fake woodgrain and when cold there is a ticking sound (not unusual i know ) and also a card in bike spoke sound and an exhaust rattle but all disappear when warm i figure il use no.1 to mock up the liberty 5 speed then swap the whole drivetrain from no.1 into it (no.2 has 325000 kms no.1 only has 260000 and i only just had 4k worth of engine work done to it so i may as well ) and il use the higher mileage engine as a rigoli eng build block (when i pay off my bank loan ... evantually ) |

I also have the sunroof rust, just to throw my 2 cents worth in. After it rains, if I open the sunroof (even a couple of days later) water drops into the car and onto me. Quite fun when it is a 34 degree day and you are not expecting hot water all over your arm...
If you want to sell your radiator fans out of either... Let me know, I am need. |

Re: should i fix her or get another and keep her for parts ?
well i got the liberty i was going to use for the manual swap , at first i was told it was single range but upon arival i looked and it is dual range so i guess il just sell it all as parts and find a single range gearbox and hopefully after getting a box and pedal set etc il get the body straightened on the first pearlie with whatever money i have left
