Question First Mini XD ? LOL

New to the seen here , so will start of by say`g hello to all.
I bought a cortina 80 model, has p/steer,aircon,black leather,250-4/speed,v/roof
and is on gas for 500 bucks, 1 owner/ex bosses car with 140 on the clock(excellent condition).
My thoughts were ,it`s a perfect project car, was thinking of E series motor for starters,then turbo`g later, the only thing is it has full 1980 XD Falcon compliance and matching numbers on it as i found out with the RWC/guys and RTA people,luckly there were no problems in register`g it, Guess the first Mini XD! Should i go ahead with my slow process(project car) or should i try and keep it all matching with maybe upgrade`g to alloy head and turbo`g the oringal motor, or leave it be as a one of a kind????
