Several forum members have asked this same question, so here you all go

Get ready to spend some $$$ for this type of project

Cost of Body Parts
  • Front Bumper and Side Skirts: $1650
  • Hood: $800
  • Mirrors: $450
  • Wing: $150
  • Headlights: $1,000
  • Tail-lights: $180
  • 3rd Brake Light: $100
  • Wheels & Tires: $2900

Paint & Body Labor: $8,900

And then there's the interior.
  • New Leather for Seats: $1400
  • New Top with Glass Window: $600
  • Labor to Install Both: $600
  • 3-Spoke Steering Wheel: $600
  • Wood Trim Parts and Kit: $600
  • New Floor Mats: $100

Stereo & Navigation System:
  • Head Unit: $600
  • Dash, Door & Rear Speakers: $200
  • Amp: $300
  • Sub-Woofer: $300

Probably another $1,000 in misc stuff.

Plus $1,000's on engine upgrades and mods.

You get the idea though. Of course since the KBB value of these cars are so low, you have to really want to do the project in order to justify that kind of money for these cars. Me personally, I LOVE IT!
