>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?

I took my totally stripped (dipped and primered) body shell to a shop and
$4500 later they gave back a very nicely done painted body shell ready for
reassembly. But they did a little more than just prep and paint. They
replaced on fender and filled a number of rust pin holes as well. Also
consider that this shop is in a low wage area so your milage may vary.
BTW there is no difference in the bodyshells between the TR7 and TR8. The
TR8 will require a couple of additional holes in the bulkhead (firewall).
