FD (toast) to FB to FD? A little help please.
Okay guys, About 4 years ago i sold my red FD (base model) as i had an engine fire and well (tears, choke choke) its gone. Craving the rotary i was in search of another FD and i ran into a lady (original owner) selling a pristine 1984 FB with only 48K on the clock. I couldnt refuse, the car is great, the price was incredible and like i said i just couldnt resist. This FB has bonded with my soul. Anyway i am now back in the market for another FD and the question i have is should i buy one with a solid body and a blown/missing engine and get the beast running again. Or get one running and ready to go and wait for the stock motor to blow, then rebuild it? My future FD is going to be a project if its running or not and i dont expect any of this to happen overnight. I guess what i am asking is, gamble with someone else's possible problems or start fresh on my own? Has anyone else out there picked up a broke down FD and built it up with great success? Stories, opinions and help would be great!
