i did consider wrap but like you say the car would have at least needed sanding down and priming, and if you are going to spend time doing that i thought may as well paint it! lasts longer than wrap in the long run.
wrapping a car still needs the paintwork to be spot on underneath or it will show lines and marks through the wrap, so it will need paint either way but i have seen some very good wraps and very poor ones i have a half wrap on my van which is fine the lads that did it have a great rep and alot can be down to quality of the materials 3M are one of the best as they seem to be for everything but along with a price

i live in north wales and picked the car up from bristol so no chance of any more attacks on it. drove the car back is mechanicly sound came with all books and wallet and service book. have got me eyes open for black or red carpets and black seats but will run around with the blue seats and carpets for now. having the windoes tinted so no one will see that they are blue
will let everyone guess at how much i got it for
has done 15,000 miles 2008 08
its going audi bianca white
with the wheels goin satin black for now see how they look when they are done
all rubbers and plastics were ok, just need a drivers rear light and drivers from light as there are a few dribbles of stripper on it

a wrap never looks as good as paint, as you have to overlay parts. and it peels away/gets tears from stones ect.
good luck in your resurrection of the car, its worth savign by the looks of it.

I would say it is, to the owner.
my car is a cat C, and if it was not one would be worth £4-4.5k
i wouldnt sell it for that if i was offered it, because i have had the car rebuilt how i wanted it.

a white(or your own choice of colour) MY08 s2000, with perfect paint, no rust and just how you want it, fully serviced.
i would say thats worth 9k.

the only reason i am saying that is i sell damages s2000`s and have been doing it for the past 4 years so as in buying them and selling them and the market value for them being listed is second nature to me so it might be worth a million pound to the owner but when evetually it comes time to sell up its worth nothing near that...
