I have spent more restoring a gun than it was worth when I was done. I did it because I wanted just that gun and was prepared to go through the bother. That said I am so very happy that I did it. That the gun is just right and in my hands shoots wonderfully.
That said I have done the same and gotten a gun in near prefect order only to determine it is not what I want and to this day I have not worked up the energy to sell it, even though it never leaves the safe.
In the end it is not a question of right or wrong, but one of what is better strawberry or chocolate ice cream. If economics is the center of gravity part it out, if it is about something more, if the project is a dream or love you can afford to lose on then go ahead and embark on the project. That said if you restock it take the time to get a stock made to the right dimensions, get fitted.
Take the time to do the math and add 75% and if you can do it and you really really want it, go for it.
But I end with the caution, you may end up with a good gun you are upside down on and don't want, accept that chance before committing.
PS Make sure on the barrels, check wall thickness, pretty maybe honed and not sound.
