Alfa Spider dilema question. To fix or not to fix.

I'm trying to unload my collection of vehicles that have grown over the years.

One is a 1982 Alfa Spider Veloce.

It is in need of a paint job because the drip who conned me into painting it two years ago must have used 1/2 pint of paint thinned out with 2 gallons of thinner.

After two years sitting outside the paint is blistering and the nose that he 'fixed' has cracked badly.

The car runs fine and apart from the brake job and alignment I 'was' going to do
it needs nothing....well, all right, second gear syncro...but that's all.

Everything works, new tyres, upholstery, a/c fully operational, 48k miles and a new vinyl top.

I think I have a picture...I'll put it on Putfile with a link at bottom of this page.

Anyweather..Question is.Do I paint it and sell it, or sell it as is?

I have a 92 Mercedes 300e, '99 Audi A4 Turbo Quattro,'97 Miata,'84 VW Westy all to fix and sell too.....so I have plenty of work ahead.

Would I be better off selling as is or take some time to prep' and paint this Alfa....I will paint it myself this time.?

Would appreciate all and any input no matter how crytical.

Many thanks folks..Pictures here....including the '67 T3 Wagen....another project.
