Default Keep my FRST or buy my bro's 2.0L zetec fiesta xr2i.........

need your help guys!!!
Buy my bro's car or keep my turbo.....

my bro has got a k reg xr2i, 2L zetec, with a few extras, mk 5 fiesta smoothed boot,lexus lights,konis and slammed on pi springs,mondeo 16"x7" 5spoke alloys sprayed diamond white, DTM cup mirrors, huge cut out, fiesta turbo bonnet and rear pop out windows, erst 90' spec recaros, with matching rear bench, K&N, scorpion xorst, clean bodywork, lower millage than my turbo 48K, and a lot of potential for what i wanna do....

he is gonna be selling it soon... lucky bastard has a series 1 round my nans just waiting to be started on.....

my bro's mate wants my car, 91' mercury grey fiesta turbo, 83K miles, big history, 3 owners, ford racing gauges(volts, boost, oil pressure, water temp),AVO coilovers,full magnex xorst,trust air filter,clean body work, re built engine 10K ago,and a few more bits, rare wheels in the pipe line-to go on my car-if i keep it, or on my bro's, also big ford brakes too!!!!!....

my bro's bottom end went on his 2i bout 3 months ago, at the time it was a 2i but with an RS1800 lump, brain, everything, since then he bought a 2L mondeo from the lump to replace his engine with so he can sell it... i bought his RS1800 lump off him to go in my car eventually, i want zetec power, preferably a 2L zetec turbo....

my old man keeps saying to me why not buy your bro's car take what you've been offered and the hard part is basically done and i have plenty of change to put towards 'project zetec turbo'......

what do you reckon i should do..... big decision.....
I want his car, wouldn't keep it as it is, sell the lexus lights, loose the white wheels for my 'rare' set, loose the DTM's and put some of my things from my car on his eventually.......

It is a good deal for all really, I get a fiesta with a 2L zetec lump already and some pocket money, my bro's mate gets a sound rs turbo, and my bro gets to start his series 1 with some pocket money also....
