Default Do I keep the 91' convertible???

Alright heres the deal. I picked up a 1991 lx convertible from a buddy of mine who builds cars, I traded him my 85' coupe in need of work and some cash this was well worth the deal. The car has fresh paint, fresh 5 spd, 3:73's, flowmaster mufflers with a mac H pipe. Other than that it is pretty much stock. Compared to a notchback this thing is a rough ride and needs some little odds and ends fixed up but nothing major. The car is in excellent shape all around but Im not sure if I like the convertible as much as the notchs'. What should I do to make this thing more fun to drive?!?! I hate walking out in the yard to see a bone stock mustang with the trunk rack and everything! Do I keep it and change its appearance because of its great shape?! or do I not mess around and get rid of it ?!?! HELP ME OUT give me any ideas or opinions. Thanks a lot

i love mine but i would much rather have a hardtop for those days when i want a more silent ride, i thing of going back to another svo with the gas prices fun and fast plus 35mpg!!! but im trashing the luggage rack its only there for the third brake light! i got a saleen spoiler from a fellow fourmer!and if u have the space its always great to have an extra horse in the stable!

I'd keep it.... Frame connecters, strut tower brace, new springs, & new struts\shocks will make "her" ride soooooo much better.....
