Default track or road?

im in 2 minds what to do with this,its super standard right down to the exhaust

its been well looked after,and i got it cheap,the plan was to rebuild it and use as as an everyday car but sorted a tddi mondeo now so unsure what to do

ive sorted a bottom end from carlo,and everything else is sound on car

so should i rip out the seats get decent tyres and use it for knockhill and drift ring at crail

or restore it a bit???
