How much does a restoration really cost?

[skierkaj]

Well, I'm no expert, but the resto my car by itself costed me around $3,000 for: a back window, total exterior resto (primer,bodywork,paint), and a very nice interior using original seats (a little vinyl dye wont hurt), with new carpet and radio, and all new weatherstrip. The engine will probably be the most expensive part (based on your performance wants), and I would say that a frame resto isn't too hard to do by yourself (I didn't, since my car was practically perfect), but again you might want some performance upgrades in braking. Take in mind, I did all my own bodywork, but hired out the final coats of color paint and clear, and also paid to have the new window put in. Hope this helps out!

Hey everyone, try to beat that price!
