No new shell is not free atall but how much does a total respray cost? 1k upwards unless on mates rates?

Here's my thinking...

New shell £700 with fresh spray job.

Transfer engine, maybe loom, ecu + clocks, door locks.

Then I have r32 rep front to sell, 312mm setup (120+ on eBay), fk coilovers (80?), eibach front arb (60?), set of standard seat alloys (50), angel eyes (70)...

All adds up pretty quick if it sells aswell as all the other bits, doors, bonnet, wings, boot etc..

Am I mad or actually thinking straight for once lol
