How much rust we talking?
I have a minimal amopunt of rust on my car. The only real probalem areas are the wheel wells and the moon roof. There is also the os small spot here and there. I'm also wanting a sand blast and repaint.
The quotes I've gotten range from $3,500-$5,000.
For an idea of the condition of my car go to this link and look at Ashley. You may not be able to see the rust because much of it has bondo over it. You should see a nice little hole where the rust ate around the bondo on the passenger side fender.
