need to make a decision
« on: Mar 11, 2009, 11:07PM »
ok....as the title says....i need to make a decision...i currently have a 1991 for corsair.....standard ca20e and 5 speed.....it has seen better days.....this weekend i am picking up a 1991 ford corsair superhatch......still with the ca20e and 5 spped....for $500....now i am looking to take one off the road to do some decent mods and have some fun with.......now the hatch is in a lot better condition to be a daily driver but looks better (in my opinion) where as the sedan isnt in a good condition for a daily driver....but i think looks a bit ugly (appologies!!!)   so im after peoples opinions as to which vehicle to take off the road to mod

any opinions???

oh sedan is light blue and hatch is white

I'd recommend to use the one in the best condition, or the more reliable one as a daily driver. There is nothing worse than taking a major step with your project car, then having your daily cark it as well.

Not too many people have modified the superhatch. What is it that you don't like about the sedan? the grille and tail lights can be changed to pintara ones (which I think look a bit better) if thats it.
nothing.

now daily drive the CA and save as much money as you can, spend it on a car that will get you better $ to smile results. At the end of the day it's a ca20 mate, there's no gains to be had.
If you look hard enough manual u13's pop up from time to time for a measly $1500. Now thats a car that will get results, there are a shitload of bolt on parts available, particularly from the US. All you need is the usual breather mods and the thing rockets.
