I have a 72 that's been in storage for over 30+ years and has rust to the point the doors don't close very well. I would like some opinions on whether I should restore it or part it out.

Wanted to restore for my first granddaughters 16 b-day but she doesn't seem to have interest in it at 11. These cars have never been flashy but I thought she would kinda like it....

Well anyways what would you do if this car was yours?

What should I plan for cost?

Injectors been missing for 30years so it may need a rebuild plus it has 99000 miles on it

Interior is in nice conditions. No tears

Also is anyone from Ohio
