Ian,
That question is highly subjective, because there are so many parts
available (if one looks) it is possible to rebuild anything.
Some rationale for rebuilding a rust bucket might be for sentimental
reasons (Dad's car for example).
Most people would not have restored my Spit, but because it has a rather
low Commission number, I figured that made it worth the additional
effort and cost.
However, if the major structural parts are shop, that would be a no
brainer.
