This is another personal opinion post.  I have a 1989 Chevy Astro, that I'm trying to make a decision on what to do with it.  I could fix clean it up real nice and paint it to sell it, or I can strip it down drop in a V8 and fix it up for myself.  I only paid a $100 dollars for it when I lived in Florida last year, the thing that was wrong with it was the windshield, well 2 weeks after I bought it the rear end went out, which was $150 to replace.  I moved back to Texas and the freakin made it all the way here getting about 27mpg, fully loaded!   
If I sell it I'll probally get me another car, the thing is should I really buy somehing else of just keep the thing it is an awesome platform for fixing up.  Here is 2 pictures from the snow this past Christmas, yes the snow was in south Texas last time was 20 years ago. 
 
 
I'll buy it for $100 as is.... Give me a call.
 
 
Drop in a LS1, chop the roof, lower it and some wheels and ur set.
 
V8 V8 V8 V8!!!!! chop the roof some nice rims and maybe a huge audio system in the back and lower it. that would be awesome. do it. dont sell it please lol.
