Frame repairs

I've had to do major repairs to my frame. I have a 1980. Section of rear
crossmember replaced, on the rear bends right behind the doors bracketed up,
and body mount/door support that holds up the body totally replaced. I've a
good job done, but wondering how this will effect the re-sale.

I can't give specifics, but consider how *not* repairing it would have
affected resale. For a car owner who'd like to go the NCRS route, it
would undoubtedly hurt the chances of succeeding without frame
replacement. For someone looking to drive, cosmetically restore or
modify the car then I'd venture to guess it would have only minor
affect. (Given that the repairs are 100% sound and don't compromise
safety.) Doesn't sound as though this car has had a protected life.
