Help Can't Decide

[spank75]

I have Mk1 GTE with sound engine etc. I've already spent ?500 on welding underneath which was mates rates (?900). I love my car however looking real bad at the mo due to all of the arches+odds+ends
I've had a quote for bodywork which will make it mint all over for ?600.
Also have a mate who works in motor trade and has found me a mint 1.2 shell J plate for token ?50.
The Choices are if i re-shell cause i'll have ?600:
Prob with 2lt is fitting which will cost me

If your going to get a 2.0 get a 16v.
