About half of what it will cost you to restore properly

As Nick says you will spend as much on parts as the cars worth, then factor in the labour, it makes more sense to buy a restored car.

Maybe OP would rather take on a project, and get the pleasure of resurrecting the car. Not sure of price, try carandclassic.com or some other classic sites for a rough idea. Good luck with it.

Sell it to wheeler dealers who will then spend hours and hours on it and still turn in a profit wink

Got to love the way they never take Ed's hourly rate into account.
