Hello fellow R3V fans,
After having my car have rust repairs (new metal welded in) as well as a re-spray done a few years ago, I've realized there's some areas that were missed (engine bay, wheel wells etc.)
As a result, I've been considering renting a double garage and stripping the car down to the bare shell (as far as I can get with common tools). Then, sending the shell to a reputable shop who'll do the body work, painting etc. with me doing the re-assembly.
Just wondering if there's any ballpark figures for this task? I plan on re-freshing (power window motors, lock assemblies, switches etc.) all the components that need attention while they are out. Not planning on doing anything over the top like rebuild the engine (unless it needs it).
For anyone who's done anything similar, can you give me a ballpark figure on how much it'll cost (not including renting a garage and other peripheral costs).
thanks in advance!
