Backlog Entry Summer of '19

2 Years go by in a flash nothing major changes (except constant combing of 1. Ebay.DE 2. FAQ classifieds 3. EBAY US Religiously hoarding parts) and in the summer of '19 I decide I badly want to paint my car inside and out and just go for the full resto. 

 

Colors I wanted in order of priority 1. Night blue from e24 series 2. Florida Green 3. Factory Sahara

 

BUT....

I forwarded a series of photos to over 10 shops at the time throughout the Bay Area and Socal shoot even out of state. 10-15K... Serious folks? Not good, OK what next? ?

 

PICS ATTACHED

 

This prompted a new clear direction for my build. Survivor Build! Restore everything else to new and salvage the 53 year old paintjob and keep some cool patina... More on how I got the car to shine later... Thanks

I'm in So Cal and $15k sounds about right (if not kinda low), given the rear damage and rust. The other thing to consider is that many things  cant be saved during disassembly and adds a lot of cost/time to replace.

 

Dont feel too bad though... I also have a early 2002 and I went the full resto direction. I'd probably have done a survivor build if the car hadnt been badly repainted twice in its lifetime.  Also if I knew the total cost I definitely wouldn't have done it.
