Default Don't know what to do???

Guys,

Ive hit a mole hill with my Wrx(94) dont know what to do with it.
i havnt used it since march

it needs around £300-400 spent on her to make it nice to drive again.
Then paint work..

i dont know to either carry on with this one, look for a blown Ra to transplant,
break it and go with something n/a like a civic or gti6/Rallye on TB'S

Lost the spirit to carry on really.

What should i do??

If it needs enough paintwork to get it looking tidy that its gonna cost a bomb, then i'd re-shell it into an RA if you have the time and space to do the job.

I'd never be happy spending a load of money on it mechanically if the bodywork doesn't look tidy too.

There was a BMW 3series in mat black running around Hastings looked a right shed. He was running 460ish bhp well up until he smashed it. Always thought he must have surprised a few people.

paint work its just stone chips on front bumper and scuffs in rear bumper not panel wise and not a single patch of rust,
just wants a service,4pots recon with new discs/pads and a couple of odd gaskets and a new idle control valve.

heres the car in question-
