Bodywork costs
Considering a 460: I have 2 naive questions:-
(a) The 460 has typical rust to both rear 3 quarter panels below the lights. What would be a ball-park for the likes of the G Wagen Centre or Ballooner to cut out the effected areas, replace & respray?
(b) What would be the price of a standard annual service?
...or do I just keep with my Jeep Grand Cherokee :)
I have no idea about question (a), but for a 463's service is about £300, + the stuff you might need to change/fix.
Although im new to this - and dont want to put anyone down -I would suugest you mnight get a cheaper quote using a local bodyshop for this type of work rather than a G wagen specialist
Im having my g wagen fixed up (one rear light bit, one sill repair, on at bottom of screen, and then sprayed)
Its pretty dead in the bodyshop world at the mo, find a good chap who needs the work and you will get a good price
Hi
My 460 is in the garage now having the dreaded rust seen to and as said above I found yourself a compitant welder/fabricator and he is doing a good job as the metal is man enough to work with.
I am having front wings repaired sills etc and then a partial respray and expect to be less than £1000
I was made redundant one time and bought a cabrio 460 with collapsing hood and brought it back to life with a lot of the work being done by me as therapy and I commuted some 150 miles a day in it when I did eventually find work.
Enjoy and best of luck
