As clean as it is I would be really tempted to just repaint it and keep it stock. Especially if you plan on tossing the keys to a 16 year old. Remember back when you were 16. I was a terror and so were my kids at that age. My youngest is 30 now and my oldest is 40. They have calmed down substantially. The jury is still out on me. Now they tell me to grow up.
Here are my thoughts on it. Since he has so long before his son is driving, rip out all that pristine original stuff, do the 5.3/5 speed swap, enjoy it, and then put the stock stuff back in before he gets his permit. Let him learn on the stock version. Shoot, I'm sure by the time he's that age, you'll have 3 more of these.
