Okay guys I'm hoping somebody can help me out. I have been giving the chance to buy a factory tuxedo black v8 Berlina. Factory cruise and power windows. The body has seen better days. Basically bottom of front and rear windscreens are rusted out rear quarter also has some rust. Needs to be painted but is pretty straight considering. It's a rolling shell complete minus engine and box. Interior is grey and with a good clean would be mint. What would something like this be worth? And what do use think a rough price on getting the panels replaced on the bottom of screens? Thanks

3 - 4k in my opinion mate as for rust repairs you can buy the panels for 200odd each

Thanks mate. What would you think labour wise it would cost to have them replaced?

Another one of those how long is a piece of string things. It'll guaranteed be worse than what you see with the screens in place. Really bad ones can have rust around the entire frames, both front and rear, and can also have eaten into the panels under the ones you're looking at replacing. Always a lottery unfortunately.

Well I bought it anyway. I'm expecting it to be a lot worse but fixable hopefully.

Old man stick on chrome strips at the top of the trims rather than on them.
