Default Help deciding which S2K to get

I am looking to buy another S. Will keep it standard till my other S is being built after that I don't know what will happen but wont be selling it. Wife wants a diesel but I don't for some reason always hated them so never bought one. Got 3 other cars in the house and fuel for them pretty much rapes my pockets. 2 of them are a blast but S has always been special for me since I saw it first time 1999 parked at Kensington Olympia in Silverstone. Since my baby blue (name I call my S) is being built I miss it and need another one.

At the moment I like 3 and heart is set on all three

1: 1999 100k plus on chassis but with a rebuild engine with 2000 miles. BC Coilovers, bump steer kit, aftermarket single exhaust, de-cat, private plate. Pros: Can turn it into a race car if wanted to without much hasstle or loosing money. Cons:100k on chassis and full rebuild engine by vtec direct.

2: Type V Monte Carlo Blue 2001. Under 50k, Rota wheels, Megan Mounts, K&N FIPK, Nitrons coilovers S2ki member. Pros: Colours, suspension set up, wheels, mounts, VGC, History. Cons: Cost

3: 04 GT Model Moonrock grey 60k. Totally Standard car. Full service history from Honda. Comes with Full Red interior including dash. Pros: Full history, GT Model, Red Dash, Facelift Cons: I would hate myself if I had to ruin the dash to put a roll cage in and Cost.

Thank you
J

What are the pros/cons of each car for you?

Personally, i'd want a list of what the engine rebuild entailed.

how long is your car gonna take to be built? I wouldn't go for number 1.
For for a lower miler even tho engine rebuilt, other parts havent. be between number 2 or 3. For me.

3-4 months maybe more.
Even if I go for 1st one the only reason would be it will be alot easier to chop.

I'd go for 2 - it will be the one you can make the most back on but if you keep it ... it's the most special.

Number 2 as it's the best colour !

Seriously though, number 2.
