This is my very biased opinion. Keep that in mind. Almost certainly it will
be worth more to others.

EVERYTIHNG in proper order with no rust or body/paint repair required =
$5000 Add or subtract the amounts that follow.

Add $4000 if all hoses and tubes and radiator were replaced as well and
spec coolant used and the install was done properly. If old hoses and tubes
and radiator -$1500.

>new Sachs clutch/disk/throw out

+350 if installed properly and German parts. -350 if otherwise.

>new Cooper 6-ply 195-75R/14

If non spec, -200 Are they actually R14C or reinforced???

>new rear brakes and cylinders

If the rear cylinders were leaking, the system is contaminated. - 500 for
new MC and calipers.

With synthetic side panels, worthless. With full hides, not woven wool, +300

- 2000 It costs the same to remove rust properly whether just started or
advanced.

+ 500

Likely not worth more than $2000 to me.
