Should I rebuild this Prelude?

Looking for some other parts, I came across this model which must have fallen down the back of my desk years ago.



It's a Honda Prelude, not sure who it's made by but the quality isn't too bad. Note my "kitbashed" engine, featuring one of the rocker covers from a 1/20th Honda F1 Engine

The interior needs repainting, the chassis/suspension is basically beyond "repair" so it will just have to remain hidden, wheels superglued on and so on.

The headlamps and taillamps would be destroyed if I removed them, but they're in ok shape - rear side windows and the tailgate glass need replacing though.

The paint, whilst not flaky, is very orange peeled, and I didn't use primer.

So, should I bother trying to revive it?
