Best way to raise sell value....

Lets say I wanted to get the MOST possible out of my car (sig), what should I do to get the optimum? I'm thinking new paint, rebuild engine, possible new tranny and clutch (OEM), the chrome OEM wheels (16"), new belts and hoses all around, extensive cleaning, order new stock (leather instead of cloth) seats, carpet, and anything else interior....thats all I can think of. And do you guys think adding power windows/doorlocks and fog lights would make for a better sale price? I know most people dont like the idea of buying a pre-modded car...so im just goin to keep it stock except for sound. My goal is to get a bone stock '97+ GSX under 70k miles in 2 years(<-18th b-day, I figure that kinda GSX will be about $10-12k by then.)

Here is the thing, I paid $2k for my car...it will most likely cost near twice that much, if not a little more to refurbish the car as I have listed (I will be doing the rebuilld and everything else on my own, so no labor cost, except paint.) Anyways, how much do you guys think I can get for a '97 RS mint condition? If I can't make back what I put into it, then im not even going through the trouble.

Thanks.
