Default Chandler Bass - remove-able neck.

hello everyone. i have a bass here - a peter chandler (author of 'so...you want to make a double bass') and it needs some serious work.

a list:
-top is sinking under the bass bar
-fingerboard and neck need to be finished/planed
-crack in c bout on the bass side (very near the top)
-back has an open seam in relation to the ribs on the bass side (about 2-3 inches)

basically, its the same question i've seen on here many times previous: is it going to cost more than its worth? i'm thinking it is. any suggestions as to repairs are certainly welcomed! i'm an armchair luthier/enthusiast. i've read a lot of books on luthiery, but haven't done anything with wood other than play it.

i know that these pics are pretty basic. requests? i will post new ones if any of you guys want to see something else!
