Frankly, they both sound like parts cars. You try to restore something that decayed and quickly get to the point of diminishing returns. If you want a real MKII, go West, young man. Arizona, Ca. ----someplace dry. Then drive it home and put your best parts from your cars on it. Sell the remaining parts and pay for your trip and the car you bought , eventually.
I have an MKII for sale , at the moment. Super-deep-red, 5 speed--very pretty. Email if you want to see a pic. That is, if you're willing to travel.
You East coast guys always suffer from rust issues. Only cars that are garaged survive.
