Gut it completely. Make it as lightweight as possible and make it a weekend race car. Make a custom roll cage.

Put the cheapest motor you can find in it and have fun.

A burned car is scrap metal and nothing more. The heat from a fire degrades the structural integrity of the steel.

this

and it also removes all the corrosion resistance so even if you clean it up, she'll be rusting out in no time again.
