So I will probably bite the bullet and buy a complete deng bike despite the complete lack of cred I will get around here.

Whats the best option? I'm 5'11". what size and what frame. Will probaby go trials hive unless anyone has better ideas?

Or should I do up my onza woodstock. Apparently they are a very light frame? 3.4lbs? Is it worth putting money into?

Worth doing up, or sell off as beginner bike and buy new deng bike?

Whats it worth as is?

The geo is more important than the weight, whats the geometry on that badboy?

Either search for geo on google or measure wheelbase (centre of front axle to rear axle), chainstay length (centre of BB to rear axle) and BB rise (height of bottom bracket above axles).

From memory the woodstocks were 1040WB, 385CS, 0BB. I'm not sure about head angle though... which now that i think of it makes the rest of that geo kinda pointless.

Personally I would build it up... but i am a fan of shorter stocks (anything less than 1070) so maybe i'm biased.
