Default Sell, Keep, Break

Hi guys, I've started the same thread on Type-ra.com and wanted some opinions here.
I have a white wide bodied Type R built by Scooby Clinic. It's a superb car, that I have intended to turn into a beast with more power etc. A couple of weeks ago I had a 6 speed fitted in preparation. The trouble is, to get the car to be what I want it to be may be a non starter and I mat be better off breaking it or selling and starting from a bare shell. The reasons are because my engine (2.1 SCDB) is not a high enough spec to take to the next level so I need to get a built engine. Secondly my car is white and i do not like white cars and can't live with a half arsed respray.. It would need to be a bare shell paint job.
So my options are to keep everything except for the shell and engine, buy another 2 door shell, wide body it and paint, rebuild with replacement engine. I do know of a wide body shell but I don't know if i can persuade the owner to sell it. If so, then this would be the least expensive and troublesome option.
The next option is to sell it as is, but I've improved the 6 speed and clutch/flywheel, Lamco gauges and newly trimmed steering wheel. The interior is MINT and i do not think i will ever be able to find another one. I could get the 5 speed refitted i guess.. (i still have the parts) and remove the gauges and buy a steering wheel from ebay..
Or keep it...But the more i think about, the less i can imagine that happening even though i do love the car... I want it to be perfect FOR ME...
The colour is nuts i know, and people love white cars, but personally they're not for me.. It's a gorgeous car that i do love, and i thought the colour would grow on me. It hasn't and it never will.
If anybody is interested in anything from the car let me know.

Hi have a brand new 2door shell that I would sell for a decent offer. Best base you could get for a pukka wide body build

Stunning car pal
If you fancy a spare kidney and a v3 shed in exchange I might be interested

Cant you trade your shell with the other person to get the shell colour you want - even add a ££ to persuade him to do the deal to save having to do the ground up respray

The other shell still requires painting and some finishing..Not much work, but not ready to rock and roll..
