IMHO you totally hallucinating if you think you can get any decent spray job
for "$500 to $1000". The cost of good quality paint could easily exceed this
amount before any labor is even considered. In addition to which, no self
respecting painter is going to let you do the prep and then stand behind his
top coat work. If you're willing to spend $3200 on wheels and tires, why are
you cutting corners on the paint job, arguably the most important aspect of
the car?!

at needs paint, 17" wheels and tires and a rebuild on the stock brakes. It
has a rebuilt motor, new shocks, headers, a new dash, radiator, steering
wheel. It needs some tlc, has 27,000 miles and is a So Cal car...$22,500.
Doesn't seem to have a rust problem. Supposedly it was used as a show car by
Ford when the L's came out.

$2000 to $3000...I should have a very solid car for under $30K???
