Default 2 X 1992 RS2000's project

Thought I would start a thread as I begin my RS-2000 project
I have 2 of these one is more or less a bare shell which is rock solid and been dry stored for the last 9 years. The other is ROTTON well beyond saving but the running gear on it is perfect.

So my plan is to swap all the running gear onto the good shell and make one good one out of the 2 cars. I am not sure which road I am going down yet as to what I want from the car, maybe a track car with roll cage or putting it back to bog standard??.

I have rented a garage for 10 days with 2 lifts side by side so I can work on both cars.
pics to follow soon
