I say clean it inside and out. Tune-up, etc. as needed. Check out the spare tire and jack, too.
Transmission swap would be cool. Bit more fun and reliable.
I also agree DIY is more fun and more fulfilling.
I tend to start with what's worst (as I don't have a lot of extra cash)...such as my front springs were braking and I wasn't happy with the handling, so I got new struts/springs. Then I wasn't too happy in the snow, so I got nice wheels and performance tires for the summer, and got snow tires for the steelies for winter. It needs body work, so I'm slowly working on that. And the front rotors are a little warped, so I'll replace them (and get some better pads, as well as rear shoes, and new fluid) when tax returns come in or they get too bad. Its just a continual project.
