Default 99 TA Convertible New to me

I have just recently purchased a 99 TA Convertible with 90 k miles. I have had the main seal kit replaced. I also had the transmission serviced. Oil was changed while we were at it. Next on the list is to replace a failing driver window motor. I found an upgraded motor by searching on this forum. The car has some corrosion in the floor pan which I plan to cut out and replace with new metal. The driver's seat leather is in good shape but the foam in the bottom is in need of replacement. My hope is to take the seat to a skilled upholstery shop have new foam cut and repair or reinforce any worn stitching. Finally I am going to add a strut tower brace and weld in a two point sub frame connector. This will be a sunny day fun car only that I intend to take on spritited drives thru the East Tennessee mountians.

I would appreciate any input or advice from the more knowledgeable members of this forum. The car is pewter with very few cosmetic inperfections.

I have replaced the C5 five spoke chrome wheels with factory 16' chrome wheels and have the C5 wheels for sale. What are the C5's worth?
