big noob question 6.2 diesel 60 series related

hi all,
my name is matt im from safety beach victoria and i currently have a 60 series land cruiser with a 6.2 chev diesel.

i got given the car by my dad because he was selling his house and he had no where to put, so i got it.

the problem
at the moment i have so many different things going on in my life and i really wanted to get the car and reshell it because the body is extremely rusted.
but due to so many other things going on i dont think i will have the time do so. im not very mechanically minded and there are alot of things on the car which i have no idea what they are or if i can swap into another car. i am in the middle of deciding on what to do with the car and i dont even know what the car is worth if i do sell it. i have attached a couple of photos of the car but any help would be appricated.

also roughly how many hours would be involved if i did the swap (motor, gearbox and diffs) into another shell, with experianced hands of course

some specs i know of
6.2 chev diesel
5 speed box
airlocker diffs
roll cage (bolt in)
5 point race harnesses
top dog suspenison
all round disc brakes
disc brake hand brake (located on tail shaft)
boot cage
so many other things

please only helpful comments, and yes i know the cars only good for parts

Matt, you found outers!
Still having second thoughts about keeping it??
If you need a hand I am more than willing to help you put it together or whatever you decide to do
