How about:

Buy it drive it 'til it stops

Convert to Dakar or similar with overhaul of worn out bits

Flog the leftovers on ebay

 :D

N.B. You'll need to get it SVA'd if you convert it to a buggy, which seems to be a huge pile of bureaucracy and hassle intended for the Hermes Conrads of this universe.

DAKAR claim you don't need an SVA as the chassi is unmodified.  Apparently any SVA will soon mean fitting ABS too.
