wow. looks real nice. any rust that needs to be taken care of before the kit goes on? whats the boddy work/paint costing you?also what paint do you plan to use?
No, no rust at all. thats really the big reason I bought this car in the first place. I already had my 87si at the time, but its a bucket of rust. The body shop guy was very surprised when he saw the car for the first time. He said this: "WOW, this thing is in great shape! I havent seen one of these this nice sine 1985!"
The body work/paint right now is projected at $2500-$3000.
My dad is a used car dealer and uses this guy on a regular basis for any repair work needed for his cars.
My dad says he is the best paint/body man hes ever come across, and from my dad that means a lot he is a true perfectionist. The guy mainly focuses on restoring muscle cars (if you couldnt tell from the background in the photos), and for a light restoration (interior out, rust fixed, full paint) he normally charges a MINIMUM of $10K. He has clients lined up willing to pay that! He is doing this work for me/mydad at a steeply discounted price. This work would normally cost at least $5000, probably closer to $6000.
The car will be solid Baltic blue, I dont know the specifics on what brand of paint will be used, but I know he uses all top quality materials.
Thanks for the compliment, I cant wait to get her back!
