Honda FD1 manual  SUBI B4 manual OR Honda GP1 auto What is your choice and why?

GP1 or FD1 manual ?? What are the issues I may encounter during the ownership of a manual FD1 assuming the millage is around 150k where my GP is in 70k range..

Is it a good opinion to exchange or go for a FD? (only reason to go for FD is cz it got a MANUAL tranny ❤️ )

Anyone recommend a upholstery place /fiber shop that can re-upholster a car door - the vinyl bits are warped, cracked and basically hideous - have a look below it's worse when you see it up close 

There's a Volvo S40 1999 in mint condition for sale on ###### atm with a claimed mileage of 50,000 kms.

It was owned by my friend since brand new until two years ago. Car had multiple engine rebuilds and did close to 600k kms until they gave away the car for free to their mechanic a while ago (mainly because it kept on having issues even after rebuilds). 

I asked my friend about this and its still the same blue car with the sunroof but he says the interior and the body panels have completely changed (trim claddings) so its possibly a different Volvo with the same book or a complete restoration someone did. But beware regardless.

There's a Volvo 460 up for sale for 500k. In rough shape but a runner nonetheless. On a duplicate book. Any leads on a good mechanic to get it inspected and handover the restoration job if I decide to buy it?
