I think the bike is a wally-mart level hybrid so nothing to really put a penny into but I think the OP has already sunk a ton of money and time into it and either has to figure out a non-existent ladder to get out or just dig through to the other side which will cost more.
No, not much $$ in it yet. A lot of elbow grease though, sanding and polishing. I am loving the work I did on it though. May clear coat it but the problem is I 1000000000% suck at painting. Runs, un covered spots, pait that may not dry too well etc etc.
