Plans; Heads, cam and see if it satisfies me. If not, forced induction through a heads, cam LS2. I'm thinking TC78 right now. But if I do that I think I will start over and strip this car down and put it on a rotisserie and repaint every inch of her.
Hopes; to be running 10's NA this year while still having perfect drivability and reliability.

Good luck bro!
Vids bro!
I've had that idea in the back of my head before. Though its up there with my 6port turbo with functional aux ports. I'd love to see that beast though =D
Do it.
Good luck bro!
As much as it'll suck, and what other people say, that is the BEST choice. I mean sure if you find a way to keep it do it but priority should be getting out of debt.
A little addition to my plans, is taking it to autocross and doing some minor mods (Intake exhaust etc.)

Plan's -
Move into the newly found 16,000 square foot shop with 6 acre parking.
Get my 1973 240Z back together as well as my 1971 240Z using the part's from my newly aquired 3rd 1972 240Z.... Addicted much?
Aquire a Ferrari 348 to build and use as the Exotic Motorsports Garage promotional car.
Find a street bike for this summer... possibly an R1
Set everything up to be able to compete in the 2012 race season in the American Le Mans GT class with either our prototype V16 race car based on my business partner/mentor Cizetta V16 powered super car or a partnership with lotus and their new race car.
And the one thing that should be on everyone's list is to either win the lottery or somehow fall into a pile of money or gold.
Not in any particular order of course haha.

We work on Exotic / Super car's, no kit car's allowed in my shop 
Lamborghini, Ferrari, Cizetta, Maserati, Porsche, etc...
I work on Z's and Rx-7's on the side too.
The 348 will be a modified promotional car for the shop to drive around and use as a "what we do" sort of thing.
Twin turbo V8 and some other goodies are my plans for it... Should be in the 480ish hp/trq area but completely reliable for daily driving, just in case you were wondering why I was building a Ferrari 348 haha.

Now that I finally got this Turbo II. Maybe I can find enough money to get rid of these klunky noises from my suspension, find a good person to rebuild my motor locally, and get a paintjob!

Sounds like a good plan of action. Bushings then replacing the struts and/or springs is always a good start.

Fantastic man! Been meaning to hit up a junkyard to look for parts but my job had me on standby all weekend.
Other than that, I may not be on mainland but this Island still has a lot to do! The best part (besides the views) is the food! So much amazing food here!
