thats a lot of dosh! i bet they do an excellent job though. i saw their work when i was down at the melbourne mini show, the shells look like they've just been pulled off the factory line. imacculate!
the last shell we got done was about $2500, that was sand blasted, all body work done on shell, doors, boot, and bonnet. primed, and sprayed in two pack metallic. it was cheap because we welded new floor panels outselves, stripped the car down to a rolling shell before giving it to them. also we told him to take his time, so he had it sitting in the corner for a bout 6 months and just worked on it when he had the spare time. body work was great, paint work im pretty happy with, for the price.
just make sure you tell them exactley what you want done, perhaps even write it down. make sure they know what your talking about and have it all right.
if i was going for a total resto 8 grand wouldnt really sway me, but for a daily runner id try find somewhere cheaper.
