Urgent Info Required

Post by alawrence »

I need a ball park price for body restoration and paint of a Traveller
If its worst case
I'm thinking new sills, floors, all the usual places ( not including wood) carried out by a restoration company
What are your experiences on price
I need to have an idea by 20:00 so any help would be appreciated

How long is a piece of string? Nowhere near sufficient information to give a reliable estimate. You could be looking at anything from £3K to £8K.

Well a complete wood kit fitted is just under £3000 and that is without any welding or preparation !! So add on wheel arch repairs and across the back in the corner you'll be looking at £4000. Add then the price of a full respray, done professionally, I would say £3000 and again, thats without sills etc. And thats before you even touch any mechanical upgrades.
So I'd say £5000 if you do it on the cheap with a home respray or £10,000 if you pay a company.
Now you can see why WRCC are charging £10,000 a Traveller or £15,000 for a 1275 version. It actually seems good value when you access it like this.

If it needs sills, then it will need much more, and possibly the wood would need to come off anyway.. So yes at least £10k, and possibly a two year wait in a queue. Far better to buy one that's already been done.
