[Raine]

For those of you who have seen my car, the most common question I've gotten is "Why do you have that piece of tape there?"... there's a piece of tape that's been on my car since last fall covering a massive rust spot. There are a few more like it on the door jamb of the drivers side... and aside from that the car is rough... tonnes of scratches, chips, dings, dents and the like.. so as I've told many of you I'm planning on painting it. Now just out of curiousity, I wanna know how much you guys figure this body work should cost? Here's what we'd be looking at:

Remove trim
Strip exisiting clear coat and paint
Pull dents
Fill areas requiring filling
grind out and repair rust
rust proofing to try and prevent further spread
roll rear fenders a little
2 coats primer
2 coats paint
2 coats clear (all for the full car minus engine bay)
