Listers,
I'm contemplating the restoration of a TR8. What amount of money would the
list say is typical for "fixing up" a generally rust-free southern-Californian
shell (of any type really, doesn't have to be TR8) and getting it
professionally prepped, painted, and rustproofed to a reasonably high level of
quality?
Also, I'm looking into the possibility of buying a reconditioned bodyshell
from S+S Preparations in the UK. They have the only remaining TR7 body
alignment jigs for repairs, and they are experts with the car, so I figure
they are the best source. They also have a full paint shop with oven, etc, so
I figure it might be wise to order a complete, painted, undercoated and
waxoyled body from them, and have it freighted over to the US.
Do any listers have experience shipping over a NONROLLING bodyshell from the
UK to a major port of entry (Newark and Baltimore are the only ones
practically close)?
TIA,
Brian Furgalus
