only an idiot does up cars for the money
as it'll always cost you more than you can sell it for.

There is the odd exception for very, very rare cars that fetch 6-7 figures at auction, but normal stuff - generally it'll cost you twice as much as it's worth to do it up. You do it up because you enjoy doing it or because you plan to keep it.
