Default mk4/3 xr3i turbo

just got my hands on a mintish 2 local owner.67k mile mk4 xr3i for peanuts,when i say mint i mean it is structurally sound,needs 2 minor bits of welding on rear of sills,and paint being red is the usual faded a bit
been sat in a garage for about 6 years,just weighing up my options,should i
1.leave it standard and run about in it

2.leave it standard looking,turbo it and run about in it

3.rip all the panels off it and convert it to a mk3,fit an s1 kit,paint it some fucked up colour(not flippy paint cos it turns my stomach tbh),and efi turbo it

i am kind of drawn to option 3 myself,as i love the look of the mk3 and have all the bits to do this lying around lol,would rival my pearl purple rs 1600i of a few years back,used to love the purists looks of disgust at the shows
will put up some pics when i get it picked up tomorrow,what do you all think of my plans
