Would I be right in thinking that for the money you spent on doing it up you could have just bought one in good nick?

No, you wouldn't
you can't buy one of these in Poland, and the cost of searching, finding, buying and importing one from Germany would be about double the price.

And now I have a garage filled with lovely lovely tools.

Also,
that's not really the point.

Most restored cars, especially at the bottom end of the market, are worth less than they cost to fix.

There are countless MGs with '15k spent on restoration' around that are up for sale at 8 grand.

The point is to take an old banger and make it nice again.
