...I would echo this sentiment. I very much hope that you have done all this because you want to ride it and cherish it, in which case "value" does not matter much. Value is market driven by time, demand, and location. Once you start paying a bike shop to rebuild your wheels, you quickly discover that you'll probably take a beating on resale if your original purpose was cashing in on a valuable bicycle. OTOH, these are fun to ride, and all that work you put into it will make it last a long time in your life as a bicycle rider.

If I had any constructive criticism to add, it would probably involve the length and routing of your cables and housings. But they work fine that way, and some people prefer them longer and routed differently than I route mine. So that's aesthetics.
