James, keep whichever one is in the best condition bodywise, forget whats bolted onto it, cos that could maybe be swapped anyway..... but rot is harder work than working with spanners!!

mileage, service history, rot etc. they are the deciding factors, if its looks , then the blue looks better  :P

well the silver one has better body i would say i was thinking on putting the lift kit on it if its not too much hassle and the wheels then put the standard on the blue and the alloys then maybe sell her? i think the silver will look pretty cool jacked

lift carpets up, go round with the hammer, see which one has most bodywork left after a screwdriver/hammer session.

which one drives best, which one one has the best gearbox (common issue on 200`s) front propshaft?etc

i would possibly go with the silver one, as its hard to sell a car with holes for snorkels etc, but no snorkles!




or, if SWMBO isnt going to get too cross, i`d keep a daily driver (alloys, normal suspension etc) and start work on a proper toy!  :cool:

If you want to put bigger wheels and arches on - 3 doors are always easier.
