Impalla672 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hey, im wondering if any of you know about how much it would cost (in the worst case) to restore a 240/260z minus all the electrical things and the engine. so just the shell i guess.

BluDestiny Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Do you mean taking a rolling shell and having it sandblasted and welding up holes/patching panels and paint? I'd say a minimum of 5k if you do all the working of tearing it apart and putting it together again. To be safe I'd say 10k, always double your best guess. I've gotten quotes for sandblasting full cars that are rolling shells (they put it on a rotisserie and take off most of the suspension then put most of it back together) for about 2k in Socal, then paint would be another $1500-2k. That's not including things like weatherstrip, little nuts and bolts, having everything replated or powdercoated and replacing nuts and bolts with matching sets (like a crazy Z addict would) and all the random expenses that projects normally have.

Tony D Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Average cost for the Nissan Program Cars in SoCal, almost 10 years ago, was $7,000 to get a painted shell ready for component reassembly. That was bodywork and paint, not the actual stripping of the car to bare shell suitable for bodywork to begin. AVERAGE cost, not worst case, 10 years ago, with the benefit of bulk buying power working in their favour. To knock the costs down. Some cars had 2X that into them and more... If you're in the sticks, costs can be higher by a factor... Edited May 6, 2013 by Tony D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
