Series V and III

     I FINALLY got the Series V V6 back on the road. I still prefer the
     Alpine III - more refined, but it needs to come off the road sometime
     for a restoration. It has significant rust.
     
     I would like to solicit comments on how much is too much when
     restoring a body? I am doing all the other work myself and am willing
     to spend in the $4,000 to $5,000 range for the welding, etc. in the
     '98 time frame. I know that the rockers are gone as are the bottom of
     the wheel arches. Also, I have uneven gaps in the right door
     indicating that the X member is weak. Any benchmarks out there?
