Seriously though it will be the judgement of the potential buyer willing pay. A professional team repairing want labour cost and parts as a factor and that's not even the bill to you yet. Making the vehicle roadshow standards is expensive, because they garner a lot of time a budding buyer wants back in return.
For many here, as long as it solid and can be fettled with and not stored like rare bauble. Value can be £1 to £100,000 because of rarity or just simply scrap and even parts have greater returns of benefit.
Make the vehicle road worthy first, drive it and potentially a fellow fan may offer fair price later on.

£50K to restore it, worth £15k when it's done.
Seriously though if you get it restored properly there is no way in hell you will get even half your money back.
Restore it properly yourself and you might get half your money back.

That's why folks don't count the cost of their own time and skills

Good replies so far. Are you asking in order to keep track of what you spend vs what it is worth?
Or are you thinking literally sale price later on?
A couple of other thoughts, is restoration meaning its a wreck and you want to restore it to driveable or roadworthy, or all the way to 'good' condition, or does it mean it it driveable and you want restore it further to 'good' or show condition?
All possibilities which will greatly impact time and cost. I've decided mine will never look shiny and new, in my opinion what's the point although that's just my opinion. I just buy bits for it every now and then and do work on it when I get the time. One day it will be finished but will always require ongoing work over and above a 'normal' car.
The best bit of advice given so far is make it roadworthy, drive it for a while, then see.
