"What I meant was, about how far into the movie are you finished restoring? Or are you doing it in scattered sections?"

"If thats the case...what percent finished would you say you are?"

I try to do it in continuity, but some scenes require more work than others, and which scene I do depends on how much time I have in the immediate future. As such, it's very difficult to say. Many of the Tatooine scenes are real bitches, especially in regards to identifying and removing video noise and specks from the background. Space shots are generally easier, because there's much more contrast between the video and the glitches (although stars tend to confuse, since they drop in and out of sight every few frames.) It takes a lot of back-&-forth to see these things. I'll have to poke Zion in the butt to show my old "6 seconds" video, showing how long it takes to correct a 6-second segment. If I recall correctly, it took over 15 minutes. As such, it's tedious to watch, but it really gives you an idea of why this process takes so long.
