More MODs - do something crazy with the interior I reckon, then sell for 10k plus.

Sell it, you've had your fun - its only going to lose you money now!! Get money into a house and concentrate on the Astra LET

If you get offered a good price for it then sell but if not then hold on to it until you get what you want for it. Nothing to lose

Take to car shows this season,
advertise for sale, ask 10k +
If anyone offers you above 10k+ now i would take it to be honest

IMO it needs interior work to make it complete, so either take this on and therefore finish it or sell on!

Up to you and I appreciate why you want to keep it, I just dont think your going to get offers like that again.........
As for putting it on the road - I dont think its built to take the abuse it will take driving it around - no offence

only thing i would say about putting it on the road is gonna be one slight bump or pothole and you may start to see cracks as with all fibre glass
as you havnt seen a full season with it yet i would take it to all shows on a trailer this year, look after it and keep it in mint condition while getting loads of interest then see how much you can sell it for at the end of the year

Do the interested people know it isn't going to be able to be driveable day in day out on the roads?

id like to say keep for car shows BUT it wont be as easy to sell at the end of the show season so you would have to wait till this time next year.
