Paint and some rust repair cost FJ40

[JDNs78FJ40]

I know there are a lot of factors at play with this but trying to get a general idea of what I can expect as far as cost? Doesn’t need to be show quality but I am going through everything pretty meticulously. Overall the body is straight but has some problems. Thanks in advance.

Don't think anyone could even give you any idea cost without pictures of rust your dealing. I've cut up tubs in the past that seen ones close it sellers claim almost rust free.

It could cost some more

Here are some pictures. The ambulance doors and front doors need the bottom 4-6 inches repaired with patch kits but other than that they are straight and in good shape. Same with the front fenders, surface rust but otherwise straight. One of the top sides had a small hole but again in good shape. The body

is okay. I’ve been quoted 9k-14k. Is that what I can expect? It’s by no means going to be a show car but it is going to be nice.

Couple more

It will probably be cheaper to use a replacement tub or Aqualu. That looks like a bad deal for everyone. I can’t imagine the shop works for less than $75 an hour. $14k minus $2k for materials leaves 160 hours of work at $75per hour. I’d love to see the quality of that 160 hour rust repair/ paint job.

What do y'all think about doing a Phospho treatment first? I know some folks like Ospho and I've bought phosphorus products off Ebay.
