Default Blank canvas. What would you do?

Just picked her up.She needs some work but she's straight and has fresh paint.Not to mention its a classic car so the state inspection is a safety only.The car is wired up for a mod motor and currently has the SN95 dash and interior. I haven't made up my mind if I want to rip it out and go original or leave it be (Leaning more towards old skool though due to fitment) So the poll is open on which route to go.

Mod list as she sits:
5 lug swap sitting on Gt wheels
5 lug rear end with disc brakes
Upper control arms
Lower control arms
Weld in Subframe connectors
B&M Slap-a-hoe shifter
Flowmaster exhaust
Custom made modfox exhaust with offroad X-pipe

Funny part is today I'm out in the garage alinging the trunk and installing a New lock cylinder when dude rolls up talking bout "How much?"I told him it doesn't even run, but if the price is right then everything is for sale.

I have a buddy selling a complete NA-T motor setup out of a 98 supra. He has an AEM computer and everything might have 10 miles on it. He blew a head gasket and wants to ls swap it. The car still runs so you can check it out before you buy. If your interested PM me for his number

Okay so I finally found a good donor car to rob all the interior stuff to return it to stock,but being 26 years old it did show its age.So I broke out the old trusty Evap-O-Rust and went to town.I then shot a coat of primer for good measure and can sleep good now knowing it was done right


Removed after 26 years





An hour after being shot with Evap-O-Rust








1 Coat of Primer





SN95 interior swap





Removed





Going back to stock
