Anyone?

Just a rough estimate

Sorry dude but its virtually impossible to put a value on this.

It all depends on the quality of the finished car.

thanks...

the quality will be excellent, I know these may just sound like words, but there is more to them then just that....

I have put my heart and soul into this car, and im not going to let it down with a crappy finish


Might not help the valuation much though :/

might just have to look at small adds...

when its done, ill be want between £1200 and £1500, but ill obviously be open to offers

[Shifty]

If its even 1/2 decent then £1200-£1500 is easily achieveable.

Looking at the car now it looks like its gonna need £1200 spent on it to get it finished?

I'm assuming that paint will cost £900(unless you're a painter or have a painter as a mate/family friend)

Also the brown Vinyl interior and a black paint job may not be to everyones taste!!

Painting it black is making a lot of work for yourself, why not do it a period colour like Pageant blue with a white roof? Paint the wellers white as well and that would look very smart indeed.

The Brown interior would fit better with that paint scheme as well.

[Shifty]

If you just primered the whole car and then stuck a ticket on it then I'd say you'd get £1k for it.

Done tidy and to the spec I suggested above I'd reckon on getting £1800-£2200 for it.

Thanks for that idea, i think i may follow this

the painter is a family friend, and he is doing it for free.
