Advice needed on a Triumph Moral Dilemma:
I have a '76 Spit that I've been restoring/driving for 5 years.  Looks
great, but the body is mostly mud.  The motor is currently dis-assmebled
and in need of new connecting rods and bearings (from an unfortunate oil
presure problem).  I also have a disassembled '77 spit that is my source of
parts. 
I received a call yesterday from a friend who is offering an '80 TR7 conv.
with 10K orig. miles.  The car has sat since around '84.  Body is perfect,
but it needs a floor.  
I only have room for one "project" car.  
Should I:
A - pass on the TR7 and rebuild the Spit.
B - Sell off the Spit and all associated parts and take the TR7.
C - Complete the motor on the Spit and then sell it and all accoc. parts,
then take the TR7.
Any insight would be appreciated.
