Seen this.... is it worth it ?

As title, saw this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1991-RENAULT-5-GT-TURBO-WHITE-COMPLETE-RESTORATION-/180501829410?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a06bf5722) & had a chat with the guy, got the price down a tad. Now I know the car is minty mint but can I justify spending 5k on a GT Turbo, or do I hold out for a slightly modded one that could end up a rot box..:crap: :sad2:
I just don't know what to do :cry:
plus would I spoil the car by adding engine mods ?

Dude, if you're that serious about buying a GTT for that kinda money, I could be tempted to part with mine...and I wouldn't want £5k for it either.

See the other post I listed things missing or wrong with this car.

Have a close look it has the wrong back shelf, none OE gear knob, none OE stereo, missing the towing eye cover and has saggy rear door cards.

Exactly. You should just buy mine... :D

I've got a short list at the moment, Maka's 5 & been offered a swap for an interesting car with efi... just don't want ot buy a rot box hence looking at the restored one, but not sure I can part with 5k for a GT Turbo, I mean I'm an enthusiast but.....

Serious? I thought you knew about Whitey? If the price is right, I'd consider selling.
