1970 911 S - Cross Roads

Four years ago I picked up a 1970 911 S sunroof coupe. It was ugly with some updating the needed to be un-done. It is powered by a 1971 911 T engine. I stripped it down to near nothing removing all the lights, chrome, glass, sunroof, and even the window frames. I had the 6 layers of paint stripped off and had it painted Albert Blue. I also replaced all the seals, window felt, and headliner while I had it apart. I found no major rust issues anywhere. The minor areas of rust were repaired. While the engine starts and runs well, it drips oil, has a manifold leak, and is a bit smelly. The interior had been updated with mid-70's seats and panels and is in fair to poor conditions. The original radio only gets a couple stations.

With the car now reassembled and very drivable, I am at a crossroads. Do I sell it partially restored or keep going? The challenge for me is really the engine, and money. To find a proper 911 S motor is simply out of my budget. To rebuild the existing 'T' engine is pricey and not sure it is worth it.

If i was to sell this car, what do you all think it is worth?

Looking for input and thoughts on where to go from here.

I attached a pic for reference.
