I just watched a couple of episodes this morning and my car won't be on the auction block anytime soon. It needs a lot of help before I can sell it and I'm having a tough time deciding what to do with it.

I had a blown head gasket but the car sat for so long the cylinder walls are corroding so now the best solution is probably going to be replacing it. Before I go through the trouble I need to determine if it's worth it. In addition to the engine the car needs new paint. Those are really the only two problems with the car, everything else is in good shape for a 1993 Z28 with 114,000 miles. So I have a few options but the question is what will I be able to sell my car for once it's been refurbished? Will it even be worth fixing and how much is too much to put into it?

I have the following aftermarket parts:
CAI, LT headers, Y-pipe, SLP exhaust, built 4L60, Yank converter, pulley, electric water pump, cam, springs, rocker arms, LS1 brakes, & SS brake lines are the bulk of the mods.

I great shape you will be lucky to get 4 to 5 thousand! Does it need body work or just a respray. Would you be doing the work yourself or paying someone??

No body work needed and I was thinking of sanding it down myself. I'm not sure if I shoul dget a cheap $500 Maaco deal and tell the buyer or pay more for a standard paint job. I'll be taking the car in for the mechanical work too.
