ok so I bought this car, many of you thought perhaps I shouldnt but I spoke with the guy and he assured me no hell hole rust etc, and I have ebay buyer protection, so I took the chance BECAUSE I LOVE HER!!!!
here's my question:
car has the original unsplit 2.0 converted to weber 44's
I have a spare 2.0 with the FI system minus the brain.
I want to A. have a great time driving the car, and B. have an eye towards retaining resale value for some day.
should I:
A. pull the carbs and install/upgrade the FI I have in a box on the car
B. bore and stroke and rebuild my 2.0 mildly, use the weber 44's on it and rip around, retaining the original matching #'s 2.0 with my FI system in my shed for future buyer restoration.
C. shut the hell up, save my money and drive the car.
(option 'C' is unlikely as I have the car parts bug bag.)
I would like a little pep whilst driving through hills not sure if stock 2.0 FI has much?
Ill of course address the rust spots, likely paint and install my 911 front suspension
thanks

With most of these cars you will find that there are thing you MUST do to the car before you can do the things that you Want to do to the car.

Get the car home, do a through inspection, make a list of priorities and go from there. Start with things that are safety concerns first like fuel lines, suspension parts, and electrical wiring.

FI is the way to go for a daily/frequent driver.
