Should I Sell it or Rebuild It (Trek Mamba)

Hi all
I'm new to the forum and thought I'd post this as part intro and part request for opinions.
I recently bought myself a new full sus trail bike after riding my 2013 Trek Mamba hardtail for the last 10 years, mostly for fitness.
The plan was to get the Trek cleaned up and sold cheap, but I keep looking at it and toying with the Idea of holding onto it.
It has been a fun bike to ride and has a nice affiliation with Gary Fisher which also happened to be my first mountain bike many years ago.
The options are.
1) Sell it on.
2) Strip and service it, replacing any worn parts and enjoy it.
3) strip, repaint the frame which is a bit scratched up and dated and build it up with some nicer light weight parts, and use it as a fun project over the summer.
Any opinions welcome.
Thanks
Dave

2 or 3. The two methods for calculating the number of bikes you should own always apply. Nobody ever said they owned enough bikes.1
