What should I do?
I've had this project for about 8 years now and has been sitting for the last 3 years. Should I:
A) Finish it B) Sell it C) Junk it There is no rust, just a lot of body work, oh yeah, I suck at body work. Think'n about fabbing up a new frame for it too. The concept sketch: The way it sits right now: |

Re: What should I do?
Depends on your motivation/financial situation. If you can afford it, get it finished as cheaply to make it a daily driver. That way you have the least money invested and you will recuperate the most if you sell. You might have difficulty selling because of the mods done (you've limited your potential customers base to those who like those mods) plus as everyone know, you never get back what you put into it. If you have no motivation to finish and can handle the financial loss, cut your losses and sell it as/is. If you have time, part it out but be prepared for the hassles of storing, and dealing with guys always looking for a deal.

Re: What should I do?
Sounds like you lost your passion for it. If that is not the case, then you have to find a way to rekindle your interest. Sometimes that can be done by just looking it over, see where you left off and picking some smaller projects on it that you are comfortable finishing. If that doesn't go anywhere, you might just have to acknowledge that the fire is out and you've moved on to other things and sell it. It looks like it would be a great start for someone. It doesn't look like any of the mods can't be undone. Just replace the passenger door and replace the windshield frame and it looks pretty standard from there.

Re: What should I do?
Finish it best you can. You can do the body work. Just do like I did, over and over and over till its right. Takes awhile but way cheaper then hiring it all out.
