Do I keep the DB8 or not?
I want to apologize ahead of time if this is in the wrong forum....
I have a 1994 Acura Integra GS-R sedan, with 180,000 on the clock. I love my car, but the rough Wisconsin winters and the previous owners haven't been so kind to it. The body is in overall ok shape. There is some rust that has already developed around the wheel wells, and the car definitely needs a repaint. Also, I would need a new fender and bumper for the car to be in a "real clean" state.
My question to y'all is should I keep the DB8 and just fix the rust, fender, bumper, and paint? Or should I buy a clean Integra sedan shell(GS-R or not), and just transfer over whatever is worth it, i.e. my B18, catback exhaust, etc(What are other differences between the GS-R's and the LS/GS/RS, other than the obvious?) I've been quoted at 1500-1800 to have the rust cut out and a new paint job, not to mention add'l $$ for a new fender/bumper. How much is a clean 4 door shell going for these days anyway?
Please help a noob!

hahha wheel wells
well i figure you'd have to spend more then 2000 for another shell and if you aren't going to swap it yourself, then paying someone to do it. I'd fix the rust or strip the motor/trans for another teg.
