Original poster mentions doing all work but paint and  machine work for the 
motor, I assume that includes bodywork, paint prep. Nice thing about the 100 
it is a pretty simple car, simple interior, not much chrome, if it is in 
fact rust free and owner is doing the prep work for paint 10-15K is doable 
in my opinion/experience, but that would be, as Bob stated, assuming that it 
is not a no expense spared deal, but shopping around for deals, finding good 
local paint and machine shops that can do good work at a good price, and 
putting a LOT of time and elbow grease into rebuilding, polishing, painting 
etc.

As far as the worth of the car,  as described it will really depend a lot on 
the condition of the body, it it is straight and the car is all there, and 
it truly original rust free or true surface rust metal I would say over 10K, 
if things are missing or there or body issues less depending on degree of 
the issues.
