Probably better to sell it as it is and let someone else do the work as could easily work out more cost effective in the long run.

Depends how much time you have, and how good looking she is

This thread is in desperate need of some wild arsed guesses don't you think?

So, a dodgy, unloved griff = £10k or less maybe?
A perfect resprayed version with that mileage = perhaps £16k?

So take out what it costs in parts and ask yourself if it's worth the effort. My view would be that if *I* wanted to own a perfect car I would undertake it ... but as a money making exercise it may be a struggle.

If you email me I'll tell you what it's worth either way.

I'm in this position. I'm selling my Grif 500, and wondering if worth doing up. Wouldn't expect to make a profit on it, just help it sell more easily. Going rate for one with good recent respray and good chassis seems to be agreed as £16k. Good respray cost £3k, yes? How much for a body lift chassis refurb? Could be worth it, although personally, I'd rather get a mechanically good one for £10k or so, and refurb myself, so I know what has been done and by who.
