"fully recondition" means strip everything, repair all the rust, repaint and redo engine. do u really mean this?

Will be seperate into 2 phases. Will work on engine and all the funtionality part first then phase 2 will be more on interior and visual appearance. U

So any good suggestion. Hopefully no more conned man....

i suggest u strip the car and do the rust first, because the engine will need to be dismounted from the chassis anyway. after rust repair and new paint then only do the engine, after that only do the interior.

well that's how i'm going to do it, but if u in urgent need to use the car, then no choice must do the engine first

I see. Good idea as well. Will consider this way. Just that the price to make over is quite costly. Any good workshop to recommend? Service and quality is top priority

for rust and chassis repair, can go for playhouse garage. they are experts in car restoration

for engine, don't know
