When I started my project I was thinking $12-15k for rust repairs, a couple of dents, a paint job and a set of seat covers. I ended up going totally overboard, doing a frame off, restoring any trim I could and replacing the rest, ultra leather for the seats and door panels. Shutz for the fiber glass top. You name it...
I'm going to be $30k in at least.

It's hard to do just a little bit when in your mind it's just a few k more to do it around up... And then you keep on finding more little things to do right... Slippery slope..

But I'm not regretting it.
