Performance/fun car or daily driver ?
LPG is not bad itself. But most installations are incorrect - this leads to heavy problems (gasoline fuel system in general, some engine issues if you choose incorrect ignition advance and lean fuel mixtures). Just remember - LPG is very different than gasoline. If you just add LPG installation you will notice less top power, possibly exhaust valves damage, more often exhaust tubes/muffler change, fuel injectors and pump failure, fuel tank will rust more internally (all these issues can be avoided if you use more spark advance when switch to LPG and if you ensure periodically gasoline runs - at least start the engine on gasoline and later switch to LPG, drive with enough fuel in gasoline tank etc...).
I already had bad expirience with 2 AE86s (not mine) running on LPG (fuel pump died, fuel tank rusted and leaky, clogged injectors).
