My new dilema

OK I am looking into doing something here and would like some input from others to see if my thinking is correct.

As of now i have the Mule 83 944 s/charged and a nice 87 that is NA.

I was going to trnsfer everything over to the 87 when it all got dailed.

I have now found a nice 951 that I can get for less than 3K.

My dilema is do I get the car and do the crazy boost s/c in conjunction ith turbo on it or keep the mule and put a turbo trans in it and good clutch along with the turbo setup.

Points on each car.

951
Good
Has good clutch already (centerforce)
has turbo trans already
has nice Borla exhaust
already turbod (factory)
misc other better parts
more valuable ROI

Bad

needs some interior pieces (most likely pulled form my 87)
needs some bodywork and paint (I can do this eaily)

83 or 87

Good
83 has new paint
is already s/charged and runs great
is kind of a sleeper
very inexpensive at 2100 for a low 14 high 13 sec car

Bad

is NA and may need a trans when I do the big boost thing
eventually will need a performance clutch
has early brown interior (not as fond as the late black)
I will need some 951 parts for the turbo setup anyway
not a good ROI

Don't get me wrong I still love the mule but I am seeing a great opportunity to get some good parts for very cheap and a 951 to go with it which wil bring more $$ when I sell it.

What does everyone think, and I hope this is ledgible.
