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..

I think you are low balling what you will spend, and over estimating
what you could sell it for. Now if you throw those small items out, and
enjoy it you should be a happy owner!
