Advice on selling 1962 mk1
Discussion
Finally took the grinder to the mk1 yesterday to start doing A-panels and wings both sides.
Surprise surprise, there's loads more rust than I thought, and the door pillar panel that the inner wing butts up to is gone completely.
Highlights today included finding that a new A-panel outer had been welded on over an existing (rotten) A-panel outer...
Anyway, having found a couple of rust patches elsewhere (floorpan next to sill, and rear end of sill) I think this project's beyond me as I will never have any time to finish it.
It's all eminently doable by someone with the time and inclination, and overall isn't in too bad a state.
Any thoughts on the best way of selling this?
Leave as is and sell as a full restoration job, or would completing the front panels add any value to it?

If it was me I would leave as is. Most people how want to do that level of work want to do it all them selves and may not like that way you have done it (not that you will do a bad job). Selling with parts will add value and as compleat as posible. Look on ebay and see what is doing well (not just the price thay are up for)
