   hey guys, im going to have a few choices to make in around 6 - 9 month (long tiem but best the plan ahead!)
   
   i mytb gettin given a mg zr which im more than likely going to sell!
   
   ill be looking at getting around 3.5-4.5k for the zr, but im nto sure what to do with the cash! so here is the problem!
   
   i have a 97 VTR with nearly 100k on the clock, do i
   
   A, get a vts conversion (with lower milage!) and tidy the car up bodywork etc etc
   
   B, sell both cars and buy a newer VTS (keeping in mind i prefer the look of the mk 1 saxo)
   
   C, keep the same engine in my VTR but get it all sorted out etc and hope it doesnt break??
   
   im stuck on this one but hoping you guys can help and offer me some advice!!
   
   im mainly thinking that obviously rust will kick in ont he chassis etc etc and nto sure what to do for the best!!!
   
   cheers guys!!

   I'd personally would go for a newer mk2 vts then spend some money on making it look the sex!!!
   
   But if you like the look of the mk1's, then simply buy a mk1 vts... would cost you less to insure than a vtr converted to a vts.....

   Sell them both and buy a low milelage MK1! There not imposible to find!
   
   On ebay there was a MK1 VTS with 25,000 on the clock so its possible to find one! was only £3500!
   
   This one has 50K on the clock!
   
   Plus if you buy a VTS instead of changing youre VTR the insurance will be cheaper! You can always keep the VTR badges! Or be cheeky and get some westcoast badges!
