What direction should I go

[krisner89]

This is my first post. Had good use on thirdgen.org's message boards with getting my camaro going so hopefully this one is same if not better. Got a new project this past summer. A 1972 suburban that has been sitting in the woods for 20+ years. After running fuel lines from a gas can(fresh gas) to the fuel pump and some jumper cable's and half can starting fluid. The old girl actually started and ran. Put some tires on it (old one's flat and was sunk halfway down in dirt from sitting) and drove it 10 miles to my house. I'm the second owner. The guy I got it from bought it brand new off the dealer lot and hasn't got much use after he bought a 78' 4x4 suburban. Also brand new off dealer's lot.

I've been putting wd-40 on everything cause everything was seized. Doors, heater vents,etc.. now work. Even the A/C pump still kicks on. Only thing I don't like about it is its only two wheel drive. Would it be good idea to change frames. Its 100% original but is really rusty so I'm thinking a factory original restoration would not be worth it. I was thinking make it 4wd and have some fun with it. Or should I try to keep it original. Keep in mind its rusty and new sheet metal cost and availability is questionable.
