Default xr3i or xr2i

right im in a bit of a situation ive got to get rid of one of my car's because of storage cost's.ive got a black Hreg escort xr3i with needs a bit of work but its solid and has alot of potential.i also have a red ford fiesta xr2i with cam's super chip the bloody works,but she need's a fair bit of work....the fiesta is alot more on insurance then the escort...but i love the fact of how quick the fiesta is.....what car should i keep and what should go.

If you have to keep one I'd keep th e2i although I would be getting rid of the bonnet and the dodgy bumpers.

FRST insurance doesn't have to be painfull I was paying Ł400 a year Fully Comp on mine with mods declared up to 220bhp

I am biased... but looking at it I would keep the 3i...... putting an Si bumpter on an XR2i is one big fat degrade.....sorry
