Unfortunately, I'm in my 40's now and I've got my own little wee ones, (8-9 yr olds) so most of my time is spent helping them chase their activities. While the kit is not a garage queen, it can still hold it's own with a little blood, sweat, & elbow grease!

Like you said, cars like these should be in the hands of people who truly enjoy them...
I gave my Dad a hand many times from a young age, about 7 years old.
He continued to teach me many things, then I became a mechanic.
Nothing gave me more of a buzz than to have him asking me for my help or opinion. I was now teaching him things he never knew.

If your kids show any interest, then consider keeping it as a restoration.
