Default Help me pick

So I need help choosing which car to pick. The green machine Or Tina.

Still havent decided what to do yet!

Green machine good
Motor is stong, components are strong, Transmission xtra strong, Shift kitStrut bars, Cam, Under drive pulley, New fuel pump/filter,chrome fuel rail, New cam sensor, new alternator, fresh gaskets. Speakers, subs, Interior paint,Pretty under the hood. Spoiler, Exhaust,garden edging bumper lip =D

Green machine bad
Paint, Suspension bushings, Water leak in heater.

Tina Good
Paint, Suspension, Clean.

Tina bad
Unknown problems, Unknown fixes. Transmission not as strong, Motor doesnt feel as strong. Dirty dirty under the hood.

So im still lost on which to keep, But im leaning more towards The green machine!
Which ever i keep Is the one im going to be putting my new motor into.

Things making me want to keep the green machine. It was my first car that i have ever done ANYTHING to. Second i passed someone today, and he was screaming "KEEP ME DONT SELL ME!!!!" as i flew past the other car. I have so many hours of crap into it. And ya i can do/swap all the stuff above to tina, But thats alot of work. So i dunno

HELP!

Lol the head lights would be swapped back over! I dont know about the 17s though, They do have new tires on them but... With The green machine lowered Its a rough freakin ride, With the 13s on it right now, its LOWER and it rides better (more tire) So that too is still in the air. I could get all new bushings for the green machine and it should be better but i dont know anything about bushings =(

And i dont mind having a Non perfect paint job, So i could have some friends who paint do it for me for the price of paint, Soo yea. I know i cant get $1500 out of tina here, But in the real world, I might be able to =D So ill slap a for sale sign on her for $2000, and see if i get any bites =D

Why not swap engines?
Well i have another block and i have my parts to go into it, I just have to have it bored out then i can assemble, and put it one of the cars. Probably going to be the green machine because it has been my car forever now. And it has the most good.
