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..

Title: THE MINI-BALLER LAND ROVER COMETH!!
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 01:03:07 +0000
Author: SyNaMATIQ
 TWO DOOR LANDROVER FOR THE MINI-BALLERS Land Rover has today confirmed what we’ve long expected – that the popular LRX Concept from the 2008 edition of the Detroit Auto Show is headed for production. The British-born automaker doesn’t actually say the new ‘ute will be called the LRX when it hits the market in 2011, but it definitely will be wearing the Range Rover moniker and will therefore likely be marketed as a premium vehicle.
No details are given about the coupelike SUV’s powertrain, but Land Rover does say the new vehicle “will be the smallest, lightest and most efficient vehicle the company has ever produced.” Previous reports have suggested the production LRX will share underpinnings with the LR2 (a.k.a. the Freelander) and will be offered with an optional all-wheel drive hybrid powertrain that may use an electric motor to power the rear wheels and a transverse engine underhood driving the front wheels.
Judging from the lone rendering released with this announcement, the basic shape from the LRX Concept should survive mostly intact, perhaps gaining a slightly more pronounced front fascia to go along with the production-necessary external door handles. Expect more details to filter out at the beginning of 2010, but in the meantime, click past the break for the press release.
