How rare is my car

Hang on to your records of what you have done to it as they will add to the value of the car. especially if it gets wrecked, (heaven forbid!) as you can use them to get the adjuster to increase the value of the car. You've done a fine job of bringing the old girl back up to snuff.

Seems you bought the car to be a daily driver but ended up doing a substantial refresh on the mechanical side of things. Not clear if you now expect to make a profit from your initial cost plus out of pocket for the parts or plan to keep the car.
Five speed or not, as a daily driver and with the repair/refresh of the interior you will have a fun car to drive.
If you decide to go down the modification path (also a lot of fun) keep in mind you will never recover those investments in a selling price. A '92 will be in the $3000-6000 range depending on condition and other factors; even with expensive mods and accessories (unless you have real patience and wait for a buyer that appreciates and willing to pay for them).
It all depends on what you do with the car and expectations for selling. Good luck on your decision.

I would consider lowering it but as a daily driver it would be more headaches than its worth. I am planning on selling it eventually to someone who wants to take care of it even more and do any sort of additional modifications to it themselves without me initially trying to do it for them and have it be redone eventually anyways because its not the exact way they wanted it to be.

for example if I lower it with lowering springs then the next buyer would most likely just take that off and put on a set of nice coilovers to make the suspension more usable.

O and I do keep all the records of all the work I do to my cars on file. So if anyone in the future asks for them I do keep a pretty good list of them
