Stock body, lowered a bit with a big motor, and you're good to go! (IMO)

OK If you keep it stock the resale market is much broader then a customized car, the buyer has to like your customizations. All I am saying if it has great Patina leave it. Make it safe to drive.

Oh yeah, Arizona makes great patina, I'd refrain from a repaint.

IF you know how to work on a car and dont mind tinkering with it go hot rod. If you are still learning and want something a bit more reliable with less hastle keep it stock. Once you know how to work on a car get another one (every VW owner always does) and customize that one. That way you have a dependable stocker and a custom ground pounder as well!
