Hi NatRat, condolence on your loss,

Seeing the guys are busy fixing their cars I will give you a quick answer.

Before any one can help you we need to know a few things like,

1) how bad is the car rust whys, do you have pictures

2) how much of this work can you do your self.

3) how much money would you like to spend.

4) Is the car worth rebuilding or are you better to buy one already done.

 

Some members have spent 42k rebuilding a 260z 2+2 if you put it on the market as one I seen on e-bay fully restored 2 weeks ago it did not get a bid for 12k.

a rusted car may cost up to 20k to fix the rust. A good paint job could cost 5k + a motor rebuild could cost 2k to 20k depending what you want to do.

Again how much do you want to spend.???

Sorry for your loss mate.  The money questions will come down to how much work you can do yourself.  If you are pretty handy with cars or know people that can help for free/cheap, then thats a good start.
