Question

So i have two cars ones been a accident eclipse 03 gts v6 and 02 eclipse gs 4cyl. So i want to ask peoples opinion on this: i have two options either fix the coolant leak and alternator belt(both costing me $50) and o2 sensor on this car. or use the parts out of the gs and put them in the gts and fix that up. the cross member bar needs changing along with radiator, ac compressor and hoses, the exhaust at the bottom seems like its bent a bit but it can be pulled out. oh and theres a hole in the tranny but my mech says its patachable. the gts turns on and sounds great btw so the engine is good. but im giving him the gs so i dont have to pay anything. i wanted to ask ppls opinion on whether to fix the gts or just fix the gs adn have that done quicker and cost not that much

i just took a glance at hp specs and fuel economy and since the gs basically drops about 50-70 hp and only gains about 2mpg i don't really think that fixing the gs would be better besides cost.  

what you really need to ask yourself is would i be content with less hp and a smaller bill or part out the gs to fix the gts and maybe even sell the gs for some additional cash.  

another option to look at is sell the gts, fix the gs, and get another car that could be your fun car.  i personally like the idea of a rwd car, yes you can modify fwd cars but rwd and awd put down the power a bit better.  good luck with everything.
