Help me pick a Supra! (MK3) w/ PICS

Hey forum, I asked this question on a few supra forums and let's just say the supra forums are perfectly explained by this graphic ----->

So I have narrowed my choice down to 2 Mk3 Supra's, both with pretty unique modification and attributes. PRICE IS IDENTICAL. Let's start:

Supra #1: 1988 Supra MK3 T-Top (170k on ODO, 50k on built engine) (WHITE)
Mods List: engine: 7mgte (built)
JE pistons
Eagle rods
Greddy MLS head gasket
Garrett GT35 dual ball bearing turbo
HKS S/S racing wastegate
Fluidyne radiator w/ upper aluminum hard pipe plis twin electric slim fans
Fidanza cam gears
Gates racing timing belt
Cx racing exhaust mani
Cx racing fmic kit
4in k&n turbo intake
AEM standalone ecu
Apexi AVCR boost controller
AEM wideband
Driller/slotted rotors with new pads
30 row oil cooler
55w 6k HID
Shine auto spec G front lip
89+ bumper, wing, jdm tailight conversion
IS300 coil pack conversion
255 fuel pump w/ 880cc injectors
Megan racing fuel pressure regulator
Rota p45r bronze 18x9.5 wrapped in hankooks 285 on the rears
Grey leather interior
No heater or A/C
R154 tranny w/ ACT 6 puck unsprung clutch

Cons of Supra #1: NEEDS TO BE SMOGGED and with this setup might be impossible to get back to stock, Interior is in bad shape, 7MGTE and although it's built doesn't have much room to grow like the JZ engines.

Supra #2: 1991 Supra MK3 T-Top (158k on ODO, 60k on 1jz) (RED)
engine: JDM 1jz
front mount inter cooler
K-sport coil overs
MB weapons with Michelin pilot super sport 255 all the way around

Cons of Supra #2: JDM engine maybe difficult to find parts, car is SMOGGED for another year and a half so I will be able to swap a beater 7mgte engine and get it smogged, has a blown head gasket that costs around $300 to replace and will take me a day to fix.

PICTURES: White is Supra #1, Red is Supra #2

Thanks in advance!
