I completely agree with those that said 100k in PARTS.... That's spot on.

Labor is the unknown. Depends on who's building it and what part of the country you're in - and where you send the car. Some shops are $50 an hour - some are $100+

Cheap labor quote per hour can end up costing as much or more - because all of that depends on the shop and their skill level and on and on.


So the answer is -- there is no answer. How much of the work you can do yourself versus professionally done... how carried away you're going to get (you will).

If money is your issue - buy one that is done. Even then you can get taken.... so then it depends on how much you really know about cars - and what to look for, or if you're the kind of person that sees decent paint, you don't look beyond it, and you drop your drawers.
