Default what would you do?

I had no rest in my *** and had to buy a project Vette. Well I bought an 84 that needed pretty much work. It's over a year now and i'm not makin much progress cause it seems like I bit off a little more than I can chew. So I thought about selling the thing or parting it out. I bought an 89 that needs a motor and minor interior work. Less work than the 84. Would you have done the same thing or keep plugging away at the 84? Pipe

Do the 89, part out the 84 and it should pay for a new motor.

It could be a nice car for someone with the motivation to fix it.
