I'd go for something dark and broody. Give it an air of menace
It's a good solid base and given how sorted your Blob was I think it's gonna be hell of a project. Wide arches, some nice meaty rims and healthy dollop of power and it's going to be one sorted Type R.

As a complete car maybe it's worth £4500. If it is in concourse condition maybe it's worth 3. But it'd be an easier car to get back on the road, but still will cost an extra £2-3k on top.
