Cost to paint and reassemble 2002tii


Awbrown

Recommended Posts

Hi - does anyone have a general sense of how much it costs to paint and reassemble a 2002tii if all the metal work and primer is complete, the engine rebuilt and the rest of the parts are ready to go for re-assembly? Just looking for a ballpark figure for an everyday driver and not show quality.

 

Thanks

Your location might affect the cost somewhat...

Where are you?

     DISCLAIMER 

I now disagree with some of the timing advice I have given in the past.  I misinterpreted the distributor curves in the Blue Book. 

I've switched from using ported-vacuum to manifold, with better results. 

I apologize for spreading misinformation.

I'm not clear on what u are trying to do. So what condition is the car in? Is it a complete running car and you are just looking to get it painted or is it completely disassembled and in pieces and you want it painted AND reassembled? For just a driver quality paint job and no body work expect $1500 minimum. For a paint and reassembly if it's in pieces well maybe 10k?

I believe you'll find the answers posted here will be an exercise in opinions (of the informed, unformed and uninformed type).

 

Here's mine (I've assembled/built a couple of street and race cars from scratch, so call me semi-informed).

 

If the vehicle is a bare shell with everything removed and disassembled, I'd think there's a minimum of 100 hours and perhaps double (or more) to assemble the car and get it running and driving. In part that depends on level of "ready-to-go." Obviously, the hourly rate will matter. In just the paint job alone, prices could range from $1,500 to $15,000 (the bigger number being more of a show quality). For the paint job, you might start by sourcing and costing quality brand, type and amount of paint as a data point.

 

Enjoy the process. -KB

depends of level of disassembly. I have my cars painted, with all trim removed, the windows out and engine removed. My painter can't do it for under $7K  (on a time and material basis) and that does not include disassembly/reassembly. Just bodywork (to bare metal) primer and paint.

My car is basically at this stage. It will probably enter the paint booth in the next month, and then will 'come home' to me for reassembly. I can't imagine you getting the car painted and reassembled for less than $10k..$15k more like it.

 

What about the interior; headliner, seats, carpet? Tires, wheels, trim. This stuff adds up.

I'd be careful if I were you.

At $25k for reassembling the aforementioned car, you're upside down from the get go.

There's some land in Florida I'd like you to take a chance on also.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
