Restore my car (read all 12 entries…)

Ensenada — 11 months ago

I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and he told me he used to have a classic buick that he got painted for under 1k in Mexico. I know I can get a paint job like that here too but he mentioned they took the car and sanded it down to metal and did all the body work too. This is giving me some hope because I was quoted between 4-5k for the work. I simply cant afford that and pay for all the trim etc I need to replace as well. I’m really thinking this project may be a reality now. I just need my debt paid down so I can start saving for all this.

yeay! love my car too

I just wish I had the money to give it the proper attention it needs. But I’ve got to prioritize. Debt first, toys later. :)

As far as mexico for paint yeah I’m a bit nervous too but a friend of mine from mexico will be coming with me. He is trying to source a good shop now before we go and yeah I think seeing the work is really the thing we need to see. I need a bit of rust cut out too so Its going to be a bit involved. I’m gonna be on needles and pins after dropping it off. Regardless this isnt happening until probably after the first of the year. I’ll definitely be doing research on how to tell a good shop from bad before then.
