Dude,
Sell the two and get one that someone has already done up and spent all the cash on.
Saves having to spend you hard earned dollars on something that you may regret.
If you buy one already done, you know what you are going to get.

they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch

its always cheaper to get the one that is pre done. but then you will always get, 'is that $%$#@ old one?'. bit of a conversation dead end.
if you get sorted and get one of yours done, you will enjoy it more, me thinks.

I got one already done. Driven it everyday, but still finding out about it everyday, and everyone says, "is that Nicks old car.....?" etc... I don't mind, he deserves the credit. Much cheaper and easier to do, especially after you add up all the old receipts.

As said before. Buy one thats been played with and maybe make your own mark on it. It will save you heaps and you'll have more fun driving it than being off the road all the time. just don't go out and buy something in mint condition. If you've just passed your test your sure to dint it at some stage! No offense!

Good luck🙂

Keep yours, that why you know what has been done. If you buy one already done you never really know whats underneath, There are some wonderfull bugs out there but i am sure there are some dogs to. Doing your own car always give a better feeling when finished you knows... just my two cents worth 🙂

IF you can find one to your likings then buy it. It will save you a bomb.

The best option is to find a body to your liking ( read colour ) then go about setting the suspension motor etc to your liking.

That way it wont be Tom's car but a mixture of Tom and you
