Default Which T/A Hadtop to use....

I have both a 93 and 95 T/A hardtop. The 95 was an A4 I was working on to clone to an M6. The only major body work it needs is paint and a small weld job on the lower portion of the radiator support. The 93 would require paint, dent removal from the passeger rear quater (the dent is the lenght of the wheel well), and some work to remove dents from the upper portion of the radiation support. The 93 was an orginal M6.

Also, both are Black with a tan interior, if I chose to keep the same interior color...

I am not worried about collectbility because Id rather have a car i love to drive, much like my dad before before he traded in his Boss 429 for a Chevy Sprint, and between the two projects I have one complete car. The number 95 is pyschologically pleasing for some reason, but that should not be the only factor in my decision. Neither will ever be #'s matching, as I could care less since my 98 T/A daily driver is.

Which one would you choose to keep and scrap between the 93 and 95 (please give your reasoning)?

So theres nothing wrong with the 93 but there is with the 95 and you are trying to make the 95 more like the 93 (m6)? Seems like a no brainer to me...

i'd say the 95

vented opti, MAF over SD, and its a 2 year newer car. i also prefer the steering wheel on the 95's over the 93's but that could be changed i'm sure

If you wanted to make the car a 1 seater, i think you put the seat in the wrong place

yeah, when i was swapping the seats, i did the passenger side first since the drivre's side had all the power accessories/motor attached.

rest assured, the driver's seat is now in the car.
