Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Estimate on my car(so not this one) will be: approx €4000,-- bodyparts, like new side panels, boot floor, rear wheelhousing, labour: at least 1500 hours, probably more. Bert is much more experienced than me, so I expect him to use less hours :bag Note: this is just bodywork, no sealnt, no damping material, no paint, just metalwork.

I stopped doing that on my projects, as soon as I started to look for a rope that can hold 100 kg :loll

Looking really good!

Quick question though. Are you leaving your seems bare metal where you are joining your panels together or are you using a weld thru primer or something similar? I'm tackling a very similar job at the moment and am concerned about rust forming between the new bodywork. I may just be making myself crazy by worrying too much about it but I only want to do this job once!
