Default Would you trade ? Talk me out of this!

I just finished my 82/Gts 5-Speed; Lsd, S-4 Brakes, MSD Headers Ansa Exhaust with Gts Body Kit. I have replaced and repaired everything and the car works and runs great.
I need to come up with a little money soon and was going to talk to my friend about trading and some cash for his 85 Euro. I have rebuilt all the mechanics suspension Etc. It is an automatic with X-pipe. The car runs great but needs interior and paint.
My thought was I could get the car body prepped and slowly work on the interior over the next few months.
Am I doing the wrong thing he wants my car maybe as a direct sale but that leaves me with no projects to agonize over.

I was doing fine till I saw that Asian chick

I know I know, I love working on these cars and know what has been done to the Euro "I did all the work".
If I bought another 928 all the basics would start over, at least I know what I'm starting with.

If you need money. then why would you want to take on a project that will cost you more to work on? Makes no sense to me.

that Euro is going to take allot more then 5K to get it even respectable

the only thing i can see thats good about that Euro is the engine, but thats assuming it even runs, if not its just got some nice castings for a core engine rebuild.

KEEP YOUR CAR....(change those wheels though when you have time)

I suspect that part of the pleasure is in the doing? Now that it is done..or nearly done...there needs to be something new to do? I get this!

Buy the euro, take the engine and use it in the 82/Gts, then send me the leftover.

Rent out rides in the supercharged 86 for extra cash.

so play with the engine that stinker of an engine in 82's could come out, find something larger and more powerful to put in its place.

Yea, that Euro will take $5k worth of PAINT! Then you still have $10k worth of interior work ahead of you! Keep the '82 GTS! It already looks better! Not to mention you just can't beat the GTS body! It has hips almost as pretty as that hot Asian girl!

Mark, seriously? Have you had your blood sugar checked recently? Please do not trade the 82 for the 85. I will cry. You wouldn't want that. Would you?

Holy crap I was just thinking of this and Shawn I certainly would not want for you to bust out in tears. Maybe I should just sell it to him ! You know its weird when I stopped working on the cars I started to have withdrawal symptoms "really".
