If you want to get new panels and paint in the future i recommend finding the cheapest option of patching it up, ie. get some quotes on the welding and a little carb tune (i take it it still runs a bit funny?) for the MOT. Once its road worthy but a bit rough, patch it up bit by bit and keep running it as you'll miss it loads. Believe me. If you sell it you'll spend a portion of the money on a shit little FWD car and end up thrashing it coz its so boring, or buy a decent old car for cheaper than yours that you slowly end up realising is just as bad. In my opinion mate, patch it up and just keep it running through uni it'll be easier to sort afterwards plus you'll be the guy at uni with the awesome capri, even if it does have patches of primer (use red oxide anyway it'll look like an awesome ratrod in the making) Thats my opinion mate, and im just coming to the end of my degree, wishin that my capri was in better nick!!
