Ok

Problem:

I have a 94 ST Coupe 5 Speed. 222735 miles

Orig problem: Overheated, cylinders filled with coolant.
Cause; Headgasket? Thermostat?

Needs: Front end wobbling fixed, cleaned, head gasket, windshield, paint job, rear brakes, spoiler reattached, trunk lid fixed.

How much would that cost?

Benifits: None, have to get rid of it.. If I could keep it then it'd be easier to fix imo and cheaper, and it has a new clutch (5k miles ago)
For more OLD info and pics:

Here is Coupe pics:





Now, I could trade it for a;

95 ST Hatchback 5 Speed 181k miles
Problem: Spun bearing(but needs engine atm?)

Needs: Engine installed, cleaned up a bit, ignition(where key goes), interior needs swept, paint job, and i'd do the clutch while I Was at it, and idk what else, maybe random rust fixed?

Benifits of 95 ST:

Still same isurence, dad likes celicas, its a hatch, sun roof, power windows + locks

Thing is, to trade the other guy wants my car running, i HAVE to get rid of my car, my dad is demanding i get rid of it. I could replace the headgasket and trade him, then toss an engine in this car... But idk how much work that will be, because of the condition of the hatchback's engine bay.

Here is pics of the hatch:












It seems as though someone just kinda unbolted whatever was attatched and left it there. I really dont like how the tranny is just sitting there, but it dont seem damaged at the moment. The engine originally spun a bearing.


What would YOU do?
