Seems to me like a case of someone looking a gift horse in the mouth.
I wish someone had offered to give me a free car when my '87 Firebird Formula got destroyed by some ignorant out-of-state old fart in a Saturn pulling a totally illegal U-turn in front of me, and I was slaving away for $7.50/hour.You've got a golden opportunity here ... and now you're second-guessing it?
Dude ... it's a free four-eyed Fox. People even donated money to help you obtain the thing. Stick with Plan A. Make it work, if need be. Things will change, you'll be in a better position to do different things later on, and THEN you can either fix up your SSP, fix the four-eye, or transfer your goodies into a completely different car, altogether. With a second Fox, you have more options; sticking with just the notch, not only do you limit your future choices, but you're also kind of snubbing the folks who've tried to help you.
Just my take on it. It's your call.

I dont think the notch was donated so that BK could make it into a drag car.
id fix the notch.. then do something different with the 86.
maybe a drag car?
I really don't see a big deal here. I OFFERED a car to him. Others OFFERED money to help him. You guy's came up with $250 to go toward the car. It takes $600 and 26hrs to get from there to here and back. As far as I am concerned if he can get another donor car for the $600 in his home town, I would do that. When I made the offer I did it because I felt bad for him. We all offered what we did because his situation sucks. Let him make the decision. It is his money and his car if he wants it.
ok first off WOW if i had known this was going to blow up i nmy face like it did i would have thought twice about it. i have decided to fix my notch. i am not using the money to do anything else with it. i have made a few trips to the junk yard and i have a buddy that gave me some parts and im trying to fix it as quick as possible. and when it gets done it is going to be my DD. i dont have mucj time to go into detail, but im sorry if i pissed anyone off and i AM NOT looking a gift horse in the mouth. this just seems to be a more economical and time saving decision.
but i cant stress enough how much i appreciate the help from everyone. and im not using the money for anything else but fixing my car so i will have a reliable ride.
