how bad is the actual damage????  What will you get cash for it/parts???  If you rebuilt it, and its a Cat C, due to the age as lot of people know that if its old then insurance tend to Cat C anything under £1800 as any panel damage is usually around £1500 to sort.  How much of the original project is still intact and does it drive fine?  All of these are the Q's I'd be asking...and I hate scrapping things and starting over. 

Just quick thought...have you tried to sell the car in the state its in??? Low offers and all of that?

well I would prob want about £500 if I am honest Stu, that of course would include the newly sprayed bonnet, bumper and wing by a professional sprayer. so that just leaves you to get it through an MOT and VIC check.

the car has electric windows, full closure alarm with remote central locking, all the usual 90 spec refinements i.e rainbow interior (which by the way is immaculate), power steering and all that gubbins.

you are welcome to come down and have a look at it if you want stu

the damge isnt much really, just needed a new wing, bonnet and bumper, which I have had sprayed but not picked up yet.

The engine hasnt been run in a while, battery is flat. It was mint when I had it though, no smoke, no leaks etc.

I would prob sell the interior for about £100 as its very clean
The RA's for about £200 ish
sell the panels for about £200 ish that have just been sprayed
sell the brand new front panel for about £40
