I've always thought the 'costs' were what we pay for the enjoyment and excitement we get from the restoration, and the fellowship it brings with other MV-ers.
If you do decide to sell, what it is worth is what someone else is willing to pay for it, not some cost-recovery figure calculated by the seller.
I was puzzled some years ago when a tyre kicker came to look at a vehicle I was selling (a rare one, I might add), and bored me to distraction when he went through all sorts of verbal machinations about 'resale' and the 'cost/labour time' relationship (whatever that means!). In the end my patience was ended and I suggested he was NOT the right future owner, so please leave. I think I insulted him. Anyway, it did go to a good home and is now restored and looking a million dollars - the current owner did it because he enjoyed the process and the result.
