Since the cheap feel of the interior is one of the detractions for the FD3S, it is certainly worth while going through the interior, refurbishing the sound deadening materials, not only the felt strips but also foam pieces that have disintegrated. There are three metal hangers on the top of the door cards that can rattle consistently. Often the foam buffering is gone. on those.
Eliminating rattles and squeaks can make the interior feel much more solid.
When removing the door cards watch out for the hidden bolt behind the passenger window switch. Also most of the plastic trims require the door card to be off to be removed.
Reinforce the foam bridges between the plastic pieces. They are likely broken already.

I mean take it there as personal effects and sell it.
Or perhaps mount it in a giant plexiglass box and charge the locals $25 just to see it.
Engine start-ups $25 extra. The "ignition fee".
Be in the leading edge of collector car tourism.
Nothing like hiking through the mountains for days and finding an FD in a plexigalss box overlooking a scene from Lord of the Rings.
Get on the bucket list of people seeking barn finds in remote locations.
