I think you should just stop and sell me the car for 5k.
If not, I'd at least clean up what you can to help preserve the car. Wire brush and paint will help protect until the day comes when a well deserving resto can take place. Take your time to not get overspray where it shouldn't be. It would likely be a lot easier without the new exhaust in the way.
You didn't ask about the exhaust, but IMHO, I'd stick to a stock looking dual in/out muffler with resonators and splitters out the bottom. Why change such an original car?
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
