I agree; just take any one aspect of the car - say the dashboard - and work out the cost of getting just that into restored condition. Headlamps, bodyshell, engine, gearbox and back axle rebuilds - the axle looks to be so badly rusted that the side tubes must, surely, be weakened - and so on and so on. It's mostly just a pattern to have things made with even the chassis looking beyond salvaging - if the spring clamps have rusted through the corrosion damage must be terminal. Good luck to anyone brave enough to take it on
