Lol, just take a quick peak, I did, and I was saddenend...such a nice looking car. It just need some repairs under the hood, maybe a new frame would help it out. And a REALLY GOOD UNDERCOATING JOB!!! Don't let your car rust up M. But it's not her fault, Nissan used bad metal in those days...notice how old ass 240 all have rust, and the following gen is so clean? They used cheaper metal, and it shows...Too bad tho. Blame the salt!

Depends on what you want.
A basica color spray of the factory colour without having to fix any rust or install anything is about $800-$1000 for good one.

If you have body kit thta must be prepped, fitted and install add another $1000-$1500, if you want rust fixed, depends how much, if you want a colour change then add another $500 or so.
Is very hard to estimate.

^^colour change is WAAAAYYY off - assuming ur actually doint a real colour change and not just an exterior colour change -a real one will cost around 4k because they take the engine out - and most of the interior too... at least for a real one - and i dunno nick -an extra 1000 for adding a body kit?? sounds a little high to me
