Should I Fix up the SD or Sell It?

I'm trying to figure out what to do with my silver 84 SD.
It needs a bunch of stuff, some little, some expensive.
For example: The blower is intermittent, and the heat is also. Tranny is showing signs, but still shifts ok once it's warm.
Seats need new springs and pads.
No hood pad. leaky rear window seal.

Bummer is, the highest bid it got on E-bay was $1600 or so. If that's all I could get for the car, I wonder ... should I keep it as a runner or sell the SD and use the money to buy a set of wheels for my TE?

The wife likes to ride in the SD.
It is much roomier in front than my 300TE.
The 300TE holds more and bigger cargo, is (much) faster, and handles better than the SD.
Should I get a 500E or a 300SDL turbo ? or a 560SEL ... just musing, sorry...
