Default Thinking of selling the Escort

Hi guy I’m thinking of selling my 1979 Escort 2.0L Auto sedan, the colour is Nutmeg (metallic brown) with Tan interior.
The 2.0L as a ported and polished head headers (but it’s not in the best shape still runs fairly well and there’s no smoke.) and a spear set.
The body’s very good rust wise but not perfect there isn’t any in there floor that I know of has a few dents’ and a scratch on one of the front guards.
The Interior is very good condition, front seats very good back seat even better roof lining has no tears what so ever however the wood grain has been removed.
Front Brakes discs have been upgraded to slotted and vented has standard callipers
Wheels are the standards alloy with a spear set.
I also have a spear set of doors, boot driver side mirror and bonnet that would go with the car if wanted.
Car has 6 months rego.
Although I would like to fix the car up myself reason circumstances mean that it would be years if ever before that would happen and with no place popper place to store the car it currently sits at my parents’ house under their carport.
And just to clarify I’m not selling the car just thinking of it.

yeah the one on the rear passanger door will require replacing the door though as it right on the door line were the door rubber bumper is.

i just need time but i may have a place to store the car if i deside to keep it.
the thing that makes me want to keep it is i know if i sell it i will regret it.
