Default what should i do?

Hi im the proud owner of a 1990 twin turbo 300zx and a 1990 da ltd (3.9)
Because the 300 is so damned expensive to work on and is leaking coolant like buggery...should I make more efforts on the DA(like a few mods and what not)
ORRR keep using the DA as a daily and pour some more money into the TT Z?
Cheers! Tommo.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not a big fan of 300's. They are notoriously unreliable and expensive to repair.

Having said that though, comparing a TT300ZX to a DA LTD is like chalk and cheese!

Default how much for the front bar to be replaced on a DA ltd/

just the thing that is stopping it from looking like a nice cruiser
