My poor '73 Sonett

14 years ago, my Wife bought me a Green Sonett from a Jaguar Dealer for my Birthday. Well, 10 years of that, it's been outside and deteriorating. I had a cover on it most of the time. I only drove it home from the Dealer, hasn't been driven much since. Key rotted in the ignition (electrolysis?) so can't unlock the wheel, floors surface rusted up front but not through, carpets are removed (shot),tires rotted, brakes seem not too effective, seats nice, paint has bubbling which was that way when we bought it. I suspect the exhaust is tired too? Neighborhood Association is after me to get the car gone. It looks very salvageable but I'm wondering if the time and money to get it driving again would outweigh the value I would get out of it? New tires alone are probably $500-600. And I've got no idea how to replace the ignition assembly and/or steering column (if one is available). I can see lots of time and labor to get it in shape. Does it sound like a junk-yard Dog? Too bad I let it go but had no place to store it and no time. Bummer I know. Sad really. Just looking for some advice.
