Obviously it will sell for more if the rust and bad paint is sorted. But the cost of that will most likely munch well into the price you sell it for. Not worth it if you plan to sell really. Worth it if you plan to keep it. Worth it for someone to buy it cheap off you and then do it up if you do not want the project.
