So I buy the car for 10k. gonna need at least 5k worth of body work and paint to make it like factory. $500 to $700 to have bumpers rechromed. An additional 1k minimum for engine refreshening (who knows whats been done to it in the past). and then an additional 1k in interior (thats being conservative).
10k car
5k body work
500 in chrome
1k engine
1k interior
Grand total of 17k to 18k. Thats alot of dough!
