Default 109 Quandry?

Well, I've got myself a bit of a quandry. Saturday was my 35th birthday, and I spent it hanging around a bunch of my marine business associates and contacts. Nothing like hanging out at a boatyard, drinking rum, and swapping tales. lol!

Well; one of the guys finds out that I am a Roverholic, and starts giggling, and tells me to follow him to the other end of the boatyard. Seems this good natured old boy has 27 thousand acres in the Bahamas, and just bought himself some trucks to use on the property. We turn the corner and standing in front of me are two 109's.

Subject A) An 80 or 81 SIII, 5 door, RHD, in Marine blue, with a tropical roof.
Subject B) A late 70's SIII, 3 door, RHD, hardtop with no windows, most likely ex-MOD.

He asks me if I can help him find parts, and long story short, over half of his list I either had in my shed, or my PODS container. I tell him, that since it's nice to have contacts, everything I have he needs, is his free of charge, and I'll do my best to help him procure what else he needs. He gets a big smile, says that if that's how I'm going to be, let him return the favor, and the green one's mine for a birthday present.

Now, I'm not one to turn down a free landy, so here's my quandry:

Do I keep it and have another Series to play with, or do I part it, and use the funding to keep moving forward on my SIIa 88 project?

P.S. The kicker, he's going to pick up 5 or 6 more, and after he's kept the ones he wants (he bought them as a bulk deal) I'm welcome to the remainders.

He's my new best friend, lol!
