is this worth $2000 update with pics

I'd say $1500 or so. For the most part you will never get back what you put into a car unless its something ultra rare that you paid next to nothing for. I paid $900 for my car (a 67) and there's lots of rust and not a straight panel on it, but I enjoy doing the work. All he can do is say no if you offer less. Honestly its up to you!
