Turra Posted 21July, 2020 Report Share Posted 21July, 2020 I don’t think you could get paint for $30k really, let alone any panel work such as RSR guards. Top end motor rebuild and all of the nice go fast options soon add up. Wheels, suspension, new interior, seats and so the list builds.

P-Kay Posted 21July, 2020 Report Share Posted 21July, 2020 ^^ Guess it really depends on the amount of work necessary. The average hourly rate is circa $100 - It can easily add up symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The green car had no go fast options when I looked at it (2014) - motor was stock and had not been rebuilt, the interior wasn't great - cheap seats and average carpet/door trims.

She was more of a looker than anything else They were all owned by DB and they were all saved in his bankruptcy arrangements , a few times ... I hope someone’s got deep pockets probably 300 plus , if u think Porsche work ain’t cheap then try twice that for Aston tax If you worry about rust then imagine the worst , they nearly all need chassis repairs and that’s 30-50 for starters As for backdates/hotties , I have budgeted quite a few times on this I am still infact sitting on a pile of stuff and holding and have a black book of parts , but I’m still once bitten twice shy now . I ripped up 30k in losses on one of those Hotrod journeys only last year and I thought I knew my way around the traps Buying a GT3 also tainted my perspective on true bang for buck , by any measure they are better than any back date I have driven and I have driven heaps So for budgets .. my last back of the beer mat tally up 3.8 or good 3.6 40-50k ITB /PMO induction 10-15k Exhaust 3-5k G51 or G50 15-25k or a tasty 915 10-15k Suspension 7-10k Electrics 2-3 Rewire Interior 10-15 Carpets and Seats , doortrim Paint 15 k Bodywork 10-15k Metalwork , repairs , tunnel mods Brakes Boxster ,930, Bigreds 5-7k Misc bits 15k Shell 30-40 although there are the occasional 25k candidates ...and a 964 chassis is much better than the Gseries but they are drug money and overpriced So what they worth , I guess whatever you wanna spend ... I can tell you from experience most people are afraid to buy a Hotrod car , the talk it big but are mostly conservative That leaves you playing with yourself in your own fantasy 😊 Times change and working from imported and damage cars and salvaged parts is rare and very different to getting it built , just cos u pay some fool 100-200 an hour to do a $30 mechanics job don’t mean your values are that high , it just mean you overplayed I think personally is knowing the genesis of the build and it’s parts and the context in which it’s built is important , but seriously many don’t realise polishing/modding a turd most are still turds when finished albeit leather interiored , shiny ones MFX, Shedpest, luzzo and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zag quoted me $25 to 45k just to repaint a stock g series coupe with no extra bits. No doubt it could be done cheaper elsewhere but I guess quality varies.

I just got a car resprayed and bodykit adjusted (putty, shaped etc) (not a porsche) windows and doors off, not engine bay for $5k cash. The quality is not bad and I'm sure ZAG does exceptional work but come on. Shedpest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turra Posted 22July, 2020 Report Share Posted 22July, 2020 $5k gets you a very basic job if you are very lucky. Everything is justifiable depending what you want. The quality is not bad doesnt mean its any good. For $5k most Porsche owners would probably look at it and say it was absolute shite.

Buchanan Automotive Posted 22July, 2020 Report Share Posted 22July, 2020 where are these mexicans you hire to do a full bare metal respray including re anodising of the wheels? We want to use them. I have seen whats needed for a full bare metal respray and the issues you get once its down to bare metal. There could be a thousand hours to make it perfect. Your guy is literally working for 4 dollars an hour. Its just not economical to even open the doors of a panel shop for that Autofokus and symsy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buchanan Automotive Posted 22July, 2020 Report Share Posted 22July, 2020 What if i hire i mexican? your dead spot on, its all about whats found once you take the paint off. Never seen a Porsche that didn't need body prep once it was naked. add in 30+ years of bog and she"ll be right mate = more money out of the current owners pocket to get it right. But then again, getting it right to me may be over the top to someone who just wants paint on their car. each to their own i guess.

Your guy is literally working for 4 dollars an hour. Its just not economical to even open the doors of a panel shop for that The Panel Beater/ Painter is an immediated member of my family so there was a little discount. To be completely honest the previous paint work was done by Mexican's probably for $300 in the US of A so removing the paint was minimal effort with a scraper! Body was near perfect with only a few shopping trolley dings, only rust was the water channel under the windscreen. There was one of my brothers "Trade mark" runs on it but thats what 6K gets you. I'm sure the new owner of the car could not tell if the paint cost 6k or 45K michel and Proud Member 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
