if have that much money, i'd probaly just get a second car. if i have half of that, then i'd probaly invest in an engine rebuild, suspension, and some nice wheels.

Finish my engine swap in my 93 hatch and bank the rest. Brakes and suspension are almost done.

Swap should only cost around 6k......maybe

$10k huh? Id probably do a mild turbo build w/ suspension, brakes, and some nice rims. Id get the paint touched up if needed be but if its not horrid I'd roll with it. With the remaining money I'd go get a nice system for it or some home entertainment things. Cant be taking the chick to your house in a nice ride and pull up to a pit.
