Re: [T3] New 68. 6 volt to 12 volt question


Got waylaid by the 12 V business.  Add a respray or a good T-cut and £200 or
so for rubbers plus maybe £200 for good chrome bumpers when you can find
them and you've got a car worth around £3000 or so in the UK.  Looks like it
depends on the paint state. Saveable or respray?   There's a lot of cost in
an 'as new' respray (£1500 to £2000  -  ouch!).
Make sure the solid body really is solid.  Lift the back seat and look for
rusting around the regulator and behind, plus similar the opposite side, and
the lower seat belt mounts.  There is a surprisingly large number with rust
where they look sound - it very frequently comes unseen between the metal
and the underseal.  A solid body saves a lot of cost, so is worth much more
than one to patch.
