I'm interested in being thorough while fixing up my 2g Spyder Convertible.
I already have all interior peices and parts out of vehicle. Thought it might be good to pull the engine and transmission for refurb and then taking all body panels off frame.
I've never done these things, but I'm in no hurry with it and I like to learn. Still, for the aggravation it seems like it might be worth it just to pay a body shop to pull the engine and trans. Seems like a lot of unhooking this and that otherwise. Am I throwing money away by paying someone to do this?
Next, I wanted to take the body panels off for body work and painting. Again, I'm in no rush here. Could be off for a year... Not really sure how pricey this generally is?
I'm not seeking a shop to do the body work and engine cleaning and refurbishing... I'm only looking right now to have a shop pull the engine and trans and put it in the back of my truck. And likely another shop to remove the body from the frame and that is all.
Am I nuts? Does this type of labor cost a huge amount?
