sell or swap
So I just picked up a 95 Aspire to do my aspire swap, however I just got it running again. Now I'm up in the air about just selling it to make some money or doing the swap. Just wondering what you guys would do?

depends how much you can get out of your running aspire...If it were me, i'd sell the aspire and get a wrecked aspire with good wheels/axles for little of nothing and then put those in the festiva..or find one and pull all the needed stuff in the JY.. up to you man, whatever you want and/or need to do.. you should get online more often!!

Depending upon how much you can get for it, you could well make enough $$ to buy the components for a aspire swap and still have $ left over if you sell the car.
More if it runs well and looks half way decent!'93 Blue 5spd 230K(down for clutch and overall maintanence)

Sell it, take the profit and buy everything you need for the aspire swap. You could end up with a free swap.

Depending on what condition its in, you should be able to sell it for more than the parts cost for the aspire swap, so thats what I'd do!~Nate

Thanks for the input. I think i'm gonna go with everyone and try to sell. The only bad thing is the right front fender had a blowout. If I cant sell it this week, the swap will begin.Comment

This is from a year ago... It's probably already swapped or sold.The normal is not always normal... MOST is not ALL... And any job can be hard if you don't have the right tools!!!
