After my insurance settlement from the accident, I have a budget of about 25k. My TR6 was rear-ended and the frame and tub are both tweaked and beyond repair.
I am trying to get a handle on what the most economically efficient options are and have no basis of experience to start. I would prefer to "re-create" the exact car I had before the accident on a used frame/tub. Essentially a ground-up resto using only what new parts are necessary and transferring the rest from the "totaled" car. Challenge is that it's pretty difficult to come across frames and tubs in decent shape.
There are no real shortages of intact TR6s in above-average shape, HOWEVER; the real challenge is that I want the exact forest green color my wrecked car has. Can anyone give me a ballpark figure for making a wholesale color change on a fully intact vehicle?
My current vehicle has overdrive, HS6 carb upgrade etc. so it's very possible I would have a full engine/drive-train swap between vehicles anyway. I was just fishing for some ideas. Spring is upon us and I have just realized that I'm really going to miss driving the 6 in another month or so.
