which is best too do?

ive started to rub down bubba, & realised he has some parts that need replacing. when he goes in to have the panels replaced, should i get the brake conversion & service done then? to see what needs doing mechanically....


or...
should i get all panels needed replaced & then resprayed?

if i were to have the service, & the brake conversion fitted, i would have the wheels fitted then =

so total cost at that time would be for:
1.panels & fititng
2. brake kit & fitting.
3.wheels & fitting.
4. service

after this i would buy all the bits & bobs *interior wise & then have him resprayed.

THEN fit all the exterior bits. eg. grille, bumpers, mirrors etc.


any ideas?

!!!

if you have it sprayed before you put all the interior bits.. then theres no problem of getting overspray on anything

so its best to get him rubbed down, then all parts put on, respray then brake kit & new wheels. cause, im just getting a respray which doesnt include taking the engine out & the wheels off, just the windows.

i might have to get some more prices for an engine out job....the wallets a little light at the moment though.


i would love to be able to afford a full shell respray :wub:
