How much does a ground up car restoration cost?
26th March 2008
crazyboy13 asked:
I have an 84 Jimmy I know where to get all the parts but how much would labor cost to weld and paint it be?
Well thank you for telling me that it would cost a lot. But what if money were no object and you don’t like new cars with all there cra#@y features. This vehicle has sentimental value and is something I have wanted to drive since I was 8. LMC truck sells body panels for the truck and It would cost about 2500 for parts. I just have no clue how much they charge for a descent paint job or what it would cost to have the parts welded together.

no possible way to predict the amount it would cost. And unless it has RIDICULOUS sentimental value, it’s silly to restore it.

difficult to answer that one. you restore a classic or antique, not anything from the 80s.

I’ve done plenty of restorations and it will cost many more times the current value of a ‘84 Jimmy to restore it. You’ll save $10,000 dollars or more by selling your vehicle and buying a late model used vehicle that is equipped like you want.
