Right now I am faced with a tough decision regarding my current stable. I will be moving in May and have 5 vehicles (1 daily, 4 projects). Right now the daily and 1 of the projects move and I *should* hae a 2nd project drive-able by the time I move. The vehicles are:

02 WRX wagon (daily)

1985 AE86 (running)

1980 280zx (should be running)

1973 240z (long term, needs lots of love)

1986 AE86 (the one in question)

So the question is, do I sell my other AE86 and put the money into getting the 2 Z cars running? or do I hold onto the AE86 and figure out where to store it and eventually get around to working on it (probably 3-4 years from now)?

How much does getting anything running actually help you? Do you mean 'drivable to my new location', because parts + fuel + tags+ possible breakdowns may add up to more than shipping anyway.

In reply to Vigo :

Im only moving ~20 miles but having the vehicles where they can be moved around the new property easier will help (the new drive is about 1/2 the size of current)

If it were me, I'd rather have 2 running, legal cars and 1-2 projects, rather than 1 and 4.

If not emotionally attached, sell the 2 long term to finance the others.  With new the new digs, room and $ may be a neccessity.
