New lights, new hood, paint job, new seats.
I plan to mod this car but before i work on the engine i want to work with the body and interior to make it more appealing.
Most likely more than looking for one in better condition and trading up. About 99% more likely.
The only exception would be if you could find the parts in a junk yard in the correct color and good condition (paint is expensive and so is upholstery if it's of good quality)
