Buy it back. If the wife was pissed about you tell her she can have the profits from selling it and buying it back for whatever. That car is absolutely gorgeous and indeed the perfect candidate for a motor swap. Or a PI swap or even just a PI intake/custom cam install and just cruise. Ask yourself, will you EVER find another one as clean and that you know so well as that one? Heck, my 98 is/was uber clean when I got it and I found 2 or 3 wtf things that I fixed. You don't have this problem and it is a mint black SN95 with 03 Cobra seats and no rust. I mean seriously...
