didn't you buy that NOva for ?30 or something? You'd be a mug not to, then you can break the R5 for parts, sell them on eBay and then get a decent Nova!
Depends on condition of both cars tbh. Renault aren't renowned for build quality

i had a renault 5 turbo an it was nothing but grief most of the time tbh but when it worked it was sweet as a nut!
problem with them now is that they're old an 99% have been thrashed to within an inch of their life so require lot of ? spending to get them right again.
but the decision can only be yours
Everytime mate... renault 5 turbos are the kings of retro hot hatches! Rebuild it get a big front mounted intercooler and wack the boost up a bit for about 150-160 bhp and its reasonably reliable so long as you mentain the car!

5's are great if you like to drink a lot of tea, they just boil themselves to death most of the time.
