bare metal/prep and spray costs

[efiste2]

what sort of price does a bare metal prep and respary job cost, i know a lot of you guys do your own, but i was wondering what to be prepared for as i cant do it myself, ie if i was to take a shell in and get it sorted etc etc, i realise its a "how long is a piece of string" question. but without excluding any welding has anyone got any guidelines ??????

if you can get someone you know that is helping you out abit £1000 ish, normally around £2000 +

i had thought around that sort of price, somthing to keep in mind when poking holes in sills and rotten rear wheel wheels etc

there are lots of ppl out there just don't go to the ones that say 5 to 6k
as its just to much i paid £1275 for mine and they done the hole car inside out and the under side,,,,,

At the end of the day you get what you pay for.
Always go to someone with experience with escorts...a classic car restorer may not always be the best bet.
And most important,if your thinking of buying a mk2 to restore always buy the best possable to start with,save a forture on panels and even more getting them fitted.
Good luck
