What to do...

Alright, heres the senario, I have 2 sc's, one's a semi-clean sc400 with a bad trans, ones a 1jz 5spd with a beat up body, probably about 2k to fix the body with paint done right with cheap-er painting from a good shop, no maaco bull****.

So what to do? Right now, I plan on fixing the trans in the 400 and selling it, then repairing the sc300's body, but I fear the suspension might be ****ed up, I mean I can go 100mph with no vibration/wobble or anything, but there is a little bit of camber on the wheel where the damage is.

OR

Swap the drive terrain into the sc400's body, which gets a clean, rust free GA body. I'm not sure I'd beable to do this though, it would be hard and I don't have a engine lift.

OR

Sell them both and get something with an ls1 in it!

Swap the drive train. It would be fun and you'll learn a lot about your car. You can always rent an engine lift, should be too expensive..

I thought the 400 was for your buddy who wanted an SC but couldn't afford it?

It is, that's who it would be sold to, he's buying it for 2k, I'm just debating on swapping my drive terrain to it and finding another sc, he won't mind that, aslong as I don't go off and sell it.
