'74 2.0 914 apart...in a tough spot for value

I began turning this car into a mild track car I could drive on the street once in a while and use in club events. I'm disinterested in finishing it as another track car has taken its place and someone is interested in buying so I'm in a good position in that regard. Putting a value to this is difficult as I'm in the atypical situation of having a fair amount invested but that car still is what it is regardless of what I have in it. Need some feedback on a fair value...not trying to eek out the last dollar by any means but something fair is what I'm after.

The car:
Orig CA 2.0 ('74 small bumper / no smog) with no accidents. Orig Porsche comp orange with one repaint somewhere in its life. I disassembled the entire car...down to the raw shell. Replaced drivers floor and truck floor...they had very minor rust which not through the metal but since it was apart and I wanted it totally sound, I just replaced them. Car is / was very straight and now sit's blocked ready for primer but engine bay still needs to be sanded clean (wiring is in place). Filled the side marker light holes. My orig intention was to have the car totally bare with glass bumpers, cage tied into towers and door bars, Stack cluster, a new Recaro (which I have) and zero interior.

All new suspension is fitted; the typical good stuff: adj Konis, springs, anti roll bars (pass through areas strengthened). Upgraded brakes in front.

Very nice mechanicals: New 170hp motor (assembled) set up for Webers. Everything balanced. Comp heads, upgraded valve train, Euro pistons, APR on everything, nice crank etc. Only thing I didn't do was move to Carillo rods as it wasn't needed for what I was after. Nice stock gearbox.

Have retained all stock parts incl wheels and injection system and all tins. Have new short shift kit, new clutch/ pressure plate / flywheel, all new masters, cables, brake lines etc.

Problem areas: Well, needs paint and total assembly obviously and the dash pad is toast. Some of the exterior metal trim will need some light straightening and re-plating. All padding and sound deadening has been removed. Will need new rubber seals and seals for targa top...top is good though.

I'm in the build $13,XXX for mechanicals, machining, suspension parts, and labor (with receipts of course). Cost of car was an additional $3100 about 9-10 years ago. Seat was another $1400.
So, any ideas? Thx!
