Money shot... However there are a couple of ways of going about fixing it... The Mayco way, then the real way... The real way? 15-20k.. If not more. New fenders, new front bumper, new doors, new glass, then the bodywork... Mayco way.. "We could fix that for 3k!" Shitloads of bondo, and a new bumper skin (if they couldnt plastic fix it). If you want it and the suspension and drivetrain check out... Get your hands wet and learn bodywork. Fix it slowly yourself and be proud of the work you have done and the mistakes you made. If you scored the fenders and doors from a salvage yard, you probably have a months worth of hammer and dolly work plus a gallon of bondo to fix the rear.. Some plastic welding on the front bumper, and then about $800 in materials to paint, or 500 if you went with an off the shelf non waterbased color. |

Fix it slowly yourself and be proud of the work you have done and the mistakes you made. That is probably the only way I would really want to do it. And, yes - the top not closing fully could be very bad. I am not really seriously considering this, as I don't have the cash right now, and I like being married. However, I don't see how someone could lose money on this. Even if it is not worth fixing, parting it out could still be very profitable. |
