1983 245 Turbo

I just purchased this car and took it into a Volvo mechanic for a post-purchase inspection.
It’s pretty bad news.
The turbo was completed deleted, no heater core, the entire wiring harness needs replaced, the floors are rotten, brake lines are ORIGINAL, suspension is toast and the belts are missing teeth.
The interior is intact but rough.
The good is that it runs and drives and passed DEQ.
So, what do I do with this running and driving parts car? V8 swap, sell for parts?give it the #whistlindiesel treatment?
