What did Rod Stewart sing "Some guys have all the luck" The only thing I've ever found in a barn had to be picked up with a shovel :giggle:

Seriously though, I'd strip all the bits off, sell it on Ebay for 99p & then sell the buyer the bits to finish it for a million £'s
You can't polish a turd, but you can sprinkle glitter on it.

Stripping it may have been a bit tongue in cheek LOL. It looks like a real good un, is it a polish job or a paint job? At least it looks like a lot less work than Pandora? I see you have started stripping her as the bow cleat is off, I have a couple of those metal one's if you need any, I was missing two so I've brought four newer shape ones. They do need a clean up or maybe re-chroming, but may be of use if you need them :)

Looks like the gel coat will come up very nicely. Don't paint if you can polish.
Fasten bra straps and remove dentures...
