Hi All

I'm tempted by a project, something like this - http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C534555#

What do you think are the rough costs to get this into a good working state, not immaculate?

A) If I sourced all parts myself and handed it to a specialist who charged £50 an hour , what do you reckon?

B) source all parts, strip the car and send off to different specialists in each area e.g. Send interior off to be retrimmed, trailer shell for dip, fill and paint, send engine off for refurb etc, assemble myself?

Cheers

Finger in the air guess on a respray and rust sorted?

I don't see why it would be more than say a rusty mk1 Golf? Nobody would pay £60k on that

Currently watching Wheeler Dealers on Quest and they're sorting out a Beetle. Any reason why a 356 would cost 10 times more for body work restoration?
