    It would probably exceed 80K because you haven't started the restoration work on the car. It is for sure you will find more problems with the car once you have started to disassemble the car.

    only cars worth restoring, for me at least, are those old SUVs and cars with 2.0 or better engines.

    thats because cost to restore can be somewhat offset by the utility value for suvs, and the longer wheelbase and smoother riding quality of 2.0 midsize executive vehicles.

    compact econoboxes like the 16v rolla, well, medyo walang value bec they're so common. why would you restore one, when you can get an equally small car for the same money (like the sentra, lancer itlog, etc etc... but you dont get to see coronas often, di ba?).

    Check mo rin muna kung magkano magagastos mo sa overhaul ng makina baka makamura ka pa pag change engine . Isip isip muna mahirap mapasubo kung ibebenta mo rin lang baka hindi mo mabawe ang nilagay mong pera.

    sell it low, get a used car that's better in shape since you're going to use it everyday.

    Financially, may not be worth it.

    Sentimental value, maybe worth it.

    Alin sa 2? The more na naluluma, bumababa ang value for now.

Is it worth Restoring?
