Headliner and vinyl top installed, what's the cost? A grand total ?

Not telling how much rust repair is needed until that vinyl is off the roof. Can be extensive......

 

[polara71]

Without rust, a simple replacement

Unless it was in the desert....there is going to be rust under the vinyl.

Untrue, my Imp was only in a desert region for a very brief period of time, otherwise it's been a lifelong northern car and it has no rust under the vinyl so you just never know.

I would put at least $2500 in the budget for those items.

That's the rare Soft top model.

Nice car. Needs pics of affected areas, and the trunk and rear seat floors. I suspect there could be more rust. You can't fix much for $200, even if you are doing it yourself. I spent $200 just on paint, hardener, reducer and a small can of all metal filler last year for the vert. I'd have to agree with the $1,000 - $2,500 estimate.

Looked great from 10 feet away....

I do believe this forum is expert at roof rust treatment issues

basically, if there is VISIBLE damage, be ready for a bunch of NOT VISIBLE damage once you peel it back. if you want the car, it doesn't matter. like my junkpile, I love it even with its rustyass roof.

and like mr NYB - he fixed his the loving way.
