make sure it safe brakes and steering is right than drive it while you make ya decision

Either way, to do it right your going to lay out some decent $$$$.

Rats are cool, but only appeal to a select crowd for resale.

my 2 cents

Love those door linings Will , but hey if you have told the old lady you are going to restore it ya betta or calma will get ya.
Only kidding do what ya want but remember to save some money for a rainy day and not spend all ya money on cars so one day this addiction will pay off and you can buy a house .

If thats the case. Then you may aswell cut the front and rear off it and put a baja kit on it.
OR
You could always bung it on Ebay for a few grand more?.
