Default Should I trade my new beater for my old beater?

Ok guys I might possibly be able to trade my current beater for my old beater. My current one is a Flat Black 88 DX Hatch, w/ SiR front, kinda beat up, drove through a falling tree during ice storm last year, Z6 OBD1, DX tranny, EX front brakes, Skunkworks coil overs, Progress camber kit, all new front ball joints, new axles, ST rear sway bar, Full interior w/ 89 Si seats.

My Old car I might trade for is a 90 DX hatch, w/ SiR front, wing, and tails, kinda beat up now, was painted s2000 suzuka blue 2 years ago, now it's beat up and starting to rust though. It now has a B16, That I installed for the previous owner, obd0, Fluidyne rad, Integra rear brakes, ST sway Bar, Some kind of lowering springs, Auto Power roll bar, Sparco torino seat, otherwise gutted interior. I think it might have a pass. seat, and the rest of the car is a mystery gonna go look at it soon. 3rd gear is out on the tranny though, but I have one (in my crx) I could put in it, and then rebuild that one for my CRX

Just wondering what you guys think. I'm kinda on the fence on it. The new owner wants something with and interior and less mods. What do you guys think or ?

Yeah but it's a b16 swap with a fucked up 3rd gear. It's really hard man I love both cars, It's kinda like having a girlfriend, and dumping her, and going back with an EX. I vowed never to do that again with girls, but with this I just can't decide. The blue car needs a little work, and the black one is in perfect working order, thats what has me on the fence really, that and gas mileage. Man this is a tough one.
