Project Car Selection

Hey folks. I'm in the position to acquire an SVX (This one). It looks pretty decent from the photos, but is unregistered so I'll have to go see Service Ontario about temporary rego or somesuch, and will have to wait for this bastard snow to go away because screw driving on the highway in an unknown car in this weather.
My issue is that while it's such a damn nice looking car, it's not exactly that practical. I'm keen on an older outback or lib too - because my last outback was tough as despite my shitty treatment of it
and could take this weather no problem.
So: Should I go with practical but mundane, or impractical and sexy? It's not like the kids can't ride in the wife's rav 4. And the seats fold flat in that, too...
(Either way the car I get will be stripped, cleaned up, and rebuilt as an electric car. Focussing on speed rather than range since work is 6km away.)
