Rough costs of restoration

Hi

Could any give me some rough budgets.

Needs 2 front wings
2 arches for the rear
A couple of 50p pieces holes underneath.
Reseal of window screen
It has been standing for about 2 years so will need new brakes but I will sort that .

Then a re spray .
Not show quality just to make it a daily runner.it is white.

Just a rough estimate would be perfect.

Cheers

Adam

Its the old question! "How long is the piece of string"
New wings or second hand?
Arches can involve a lot of work
Just remember, there is no such thing as a quick blow over re spray, you will pay the price later on!
Make sure any welding underneath is not just the tip of the ice berg in terms of corrosion!
I would say anything from £2500 to £6000 Depending what's involved. Bodywork is VERY Labour intensive
