911 long hood restomod mid engine or awd?

I'm in the middle of my restomod build and i'm trying to decided it if I rather go mid engine than AWD. The car is a 1970 911E rust bucket. I my original plan was to build a awd long hood. That would be reliable handle good and something I could drive year around rain or snow and take it to the track on the weekend. My plan consisted of using 996 c4 drivetrain and floor pan. However I got a great deal on a totaled 01 boxster with a clear title, it runs but is not currently drivable. My plan with the boxster was to use the front front suspension buy 996 c4 hubs use all the mounts and floor pan use the engine and sell the trans and buy a 996 c4 trans and front diff, then sale the rear suspension and buy 996 suspension and fabricate the rest.

That said I have been considering converting it to mid engine reusing most of the boxster. Any thoughts on this?
