make it new or leave it alone ?

i've been told lately to leave my Demon alone as my plans after Crusin' the Coast is to tear it down for a repaint/interior redo. it's still wearing factory paint and tho it's no show winner, it does have character. yes, i know it's my F N car to do what i want, but what's YOUR opinion ?
drive it as is ? scuff and satin clear it with an interior redo ? do just the interior ? who cares it's your car ?
