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.

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?.

i dont believe in restoring things. Rat, Rod or Kustom is the only way to go
