What would you all do?

Alright, here is what i'm faced with, I got a TB Evo 8, we all know. I also have a Yellow Evo 8 shell, missing fenders, hood, headlights, T-case, tranny, engine, and 2 front seats, that's it. Oh, and the Yellow Evo shell has a sun roof and a COD from the state of Florida. Now, my question is, what would you all do if you had this? Take the TB Evo apart and fix the yellow one up then change the VIN or something, sell the yellow Evo shell, or just keep both incase of a problem?

Take the TB black evo apart and use the yellow one. (This has nothing to do with the fact that I drive a TB Evo either.) I like being one of the only ones at a meet to have a TB Evo. Sorry.

Seriously if both are paid for and you have the space keep em both.

whats a COD in the state of florida? how about sell me the shell

i DEFINATELY would not change the vins though... especially after posting it here. thats a serious crime, and the reason bud coddington went to jail, and i think one of the reasons unique performance went under (and criminal charges pressed, not including all the civil suits against them)

If I had a running evo and a shell.... oh man the dirty things that could be done!

I would keep the running evo as a daily driver and build the second one as a specialized one be it a drag car, time attack or just a crazy all around car..

hmmmmmmm

empty car like that would be sweet if you had the time and money to put into it. APR Widebody, AMS 2.3RR Motor, FP Red turbo, ahhh the list would be endless then reality kicks in and tells you it would take you 3 years to build it :-)

That would be an awesome do it yourselfer car though. I would keep it and start working on it.

If i had the shell, a place to work on it (like garage space), some spare time, and a lot of extra money.... I would consider building a dedicated track or "mod" class autocross car. Or possibly just a killer street car.

But knowing that building it would cost a great deal -- (what's the cost of a built engine, upgraded t-case and tranny?) I'd likely just sell it and take the cash to put into my current car.
