delema over two cars

[ricki2711]

Hi
I have a bit of a dilemma here, and I am having trouble deciding what to do, so Iam asking for other members opinions/advice.

recently as mentioned in a previous thread I bought my second 190e, on an E with the idea of stripping it for parts to use on mine, but having picked it up and driven it home, I feel its to good a car to break just for parts.

Its condition apart from the peeling lacquer is good,the engine is smooth and the interior is good.
It only has two months to run on its mot, but it has only done 200 miles since its last one, and 100 of those were by me driving it home, so i don't see it having a problem passing its mot.

my original 190e on a G plate is in about the same condition, a few thousand less miles on the clock, and it was my first one.

so what do i do?:???: What would you do?

Same dilema as me about 5 years ago. I bought an identical car to our '85 RX7 for parts, then I sat in the spares car every night in the garage wondering what to do. Finally I realised I had to 'do the deed' for the spares, and I started cutting.
Once the roof pillars are cut through your mind is made up for you.
I don't regret it because I've had its wheels and tyres to run on, a stainless steel exhast system, a better running carburettor, rear fog light, nearly new filters and recently I needed the diff because of a loose diff side bearing. All the other parts are safely stored for the next 20 years or so!
So you don't need both but you will need the parts. Plus the parts will save you much more money than selling(?) one of the cars. So go for it!
