Default what should i do?

Right- Dilema time i have the 2 series 2`s in the fore sale sect not had alot of interest even though i thought there would be!!! lol
my merc grey one wont start but will bump start but its just run out of tax my black one needs a mot this month and is standard!

So do i strip the grey one of the nice bits and make the black one better or sell the grey one as its scabby but has a good engine. or continue to sell both cheap and move on? should i change the 17`s for the 16"mondys? on the black one

Help i cant make a decision to save my life!!!!!

Cheers Chris

I suppose it depends what you would buy as a replacement if both of these go. I like both of them but if you keep the black one then I'd keep the 17s on it.

id keep the black one. take what you want off the grey one, stick with 17s though. and then just sell everything thats left off the grey one. you can sell just about every part off an rs turbo so you would get a good bit of money back.

Get the black one MOT'd first. if it fails on anything badly, then it may pay you to keep the grey one.

Then create one very good RS out of the two, and then sell the other once you've rebuilt it.
