Fix up a GXL or a TII?

I've been debating about either fixing up my GXL (needs engine and other misc. part) or buying a TII to fix up. I've had a TII but a CRX hit me on the highway and totalled my ride. I have the GXL still but after the TII it's hard to go back.

The GXL will be cheaper to fix and will perform well.

The TII will cost more (after getting it) and may take longer to build/fix/modify, but will definetly outperform the N/A.

I'm driving a Miata now and have the N/A in my garage. I imagine the either project will take about a year to complete.

Any advise is welcome.

I miss my TII.

It's like having a project then all of a sudden it comes to an abrupt end. Not vary satisfying.

Yeah, I think I'll sell the GXL and get another TII. I can't deny the power of the turbo.

For Sale: 87 GXL

Hell NO! Then I wouldn't have a ride. I'll sell the N/A and find a TII that needs a motor or one that has a recent rebuild. The body has to be straight though.
