What are you talking about? Fourteen thousand miles of daily driving is WAY more than enough miles of breakin.
Honestly, if I were OP, I would sell the car for quite a nice price, and pick up a good condition Sc300 shell and put the 10k into that; your car could be really nice if you did that.
It would be a shame to put ten thousand dollars worth of mods into that pristine car only to wreck it due to more power than skill; assuming you are still a youngin.

. If you have 10k and want an SC that bad, get another one and mod it. Leave that car alone.I am with all these guys! There was a member on this forum 3 years ago that had a original 94 with 18,000 miles, it sold on ebay for around $23,000
Sell the car, and buy one that is already moded to the max! For what you would get out of it plus the extra $10K you have to put in it you would have a extremly badass ride.

Do not modify that car at all, sell it, get an sc with 100k or so and mod it, 14k is too fresh to see torn apart. 10k + the extra saved after selling that sc will give you alot to work with. Or just use the 10k and get a boosted sc, lol, and keep the other one stock as your daily.

Maybe a good idea to do some maintenance work to it before you do anything. That old of a car that seems like its just been sitting there must would probably need some new seals, fluids and such. Unless it was driven on a (semi) regular basis..

Everyone is telling you to sell it man. However, if it were me, I would definitely take into consideration the sentimentality of that vehicle. I would keep that thing! I would drive it around as my daily and be proud as hell that my SC is a collectors item.
Happy motoring my friend.

If it were me heres would be my plan... Keep the car its truly a collectors items. The SC is one of the hottest car from the 90's. With 10k I would buy another SC (Just cause I love them so damn much or if I could find a IS) And put money into that like modding.
Or sell the that baby for 25k+ Youll have 35k and buy something for about 10 (Be stupid to spend all 35 or even close at 17 save your money for future things) and modd that.

How much is a 93 with 45k miles worth then? 
I would keep the car stock and get certain things placed like serpentine belt, oil, diff fluid, trans fluid..
