Hi Mate
Peter has got it right ^^^^^^
It doesnt really matter what the car is or how easy or hard certain parts
are, Restoring cars will be expensive. Yes you can save alot if you can do some
yourself but what are you actually saving ?. Money maybe. I dont think so.
Unless you can do it ALL yourself and have proof that it is done to a high standard
no-one will ever give you the same amount as a fully documented restoration from
a resto shop.
If We had a car dropped in for us to paint and the owner done the rust
and panel work, we would NOT guarantee any of our products. We cant, PPG cant and
no business will. So this means you also need to paint it yourself. Good luck.
This is the main reason why there are so many DODGY cars out there.
Best off saving hard for a year longer and buy a car you can drive.
How pissed off would you be if the car you paid good dollars for cause its been "restored"
Had chunks of bog falling out cause it was "restored" by a kid out of high school.
Any car is a big job, If you cant do it properly PAY for it to be done.
When you come visit Thriller get him to bring you into my shop and i will show you some
stuff.
Cheers
Paul
