Top will run you about $800-1000 to have replaced....

Weather strips somewhere around $700 -$800.

Paint roughly $3-4 grand.

Carpet, I`d guess $600

Headlights somewhere around $250

I have priced many of the items needed through ecklers and I would be doing

a lot of the cosmetic work myself. I also was thinking along the line of

less than 5K for it like it sits now, and around 3K for parts to repair and

2-3K for the paint. So if I get in it and fix it for less than 10K, I would

still have a car that should be worth a little more than what I have in it,

I hope! Am I right?

Thanks for your input.

An `86 Convert worth 10K? Manual or Auto? Auto won`t bring as much.

It would have to be very nice, under and out and in.....

like all the suspension wear parts replaced, u-joints, bearings, shocks,

tires, clean wheels,

nice paint, interior, seats, new top, no engine smoke on startup, no

fluid leaks,

squeaks and rattles, yada yada...



There is a LOT MORE to making a car over than paint, top, and carpet.

As much money, if not more, than you paid out for the paint, top and

carpet..
