How do we value our cars?

The area below the cowl and into the engine had not been finished yet. There were still things that needed to be done but I did put a stated value. As I said I had about 9-10k into the car with parts factoring labor I figure another 3-4k. So my stated value of 18-20k is a little higher than the value. Hopefully I will be able to get enough back. I have found several places with the parts and hopefully a few more cars (parts or project or both).

In a couple of posts you say "stated value". I hope this isn't the case and you have "agreed" value on it.
