Monte or Malibu?

[SicMonte]

man do I have a major decision to make!!!!

I currently drive a 1988 Monte Carlo SS..with a new small block motor ( 350, 60 over)..buillt up trans...some suspension upgrades...Torq Thrusts...stereo...the "basic" project car. The problme with this car is that it is not really going forward..it is really going backwards. The body is in ok shape...but the floor pans are dying fast and so are the body bushing housings. They pretty much need to be all cut out and new mounts welded in...lots of work.

Here lies the dilemma. I recentlly got a 1983 Malibu Classic Wagon...and it is in way better shape than the monte is. It needs some paint but the body and chassis are so solid!! It has 52,384 miles on it!! The best thing is that both cars share the same platform and I can swap the parts from the monte right over to the malibu.

So do you all think I should do it? I love my monte...but in all reality..it is just way over my head to fix it...and to have someone else do it would be like thousands and thousands of dollars...which I just dont have.
