A question about assessing a ramp queen for purchase (disassembly of the wings...)

[Dana]

Thanks for all the responses. I realize the chances of this thing being worth it is a total shot in the dark, but that dude... that DUDE... the "This old Cherokee" guy. $1000 plane, put about $6000 in it to get it back in shape. All he's got now are ramp fees, insurance, and annuals. I'm looking for that, and will put in quite a bit of effort before giving up.

If it takes $6000 to get it back in flying shape, great, but it could also take $30K to put it back into shape, then what?
