RE: [DMCForum] Grady or Houston?



I have to ask, what is your level of experience in working on cars?  I do
all my own work, but will it really cost $7,000.00 for a water pump and
hoses, a fuel pump kit, brake rotors, replace tie rod ends, and repair
speedometer?  I am still learning the De Lorean so I really don't know.

I did a ground-up restoration on an old Trans Am and spent about that much
but it needed a lot more work than what you describe.  How did you come up
with the dollar figure you have?

My concern everyone is the amount of money I have available for repairs.
I
would be looking at spending about $6000-$7000.  I want him to give me an
realistic estimate and then just fix what is essential to have a car that
can be driven about 2 days a week.  I have another driver, having this car
completely perfected is not my goal.  I wanted to ask him to install a new
water pump with all the clamps and hoses (1WPCKIT), a new fuel pump kit
(111085G), 2 new brake rotors (111095G) , fix my tie rods on my steering,
fix my spedometer, and install/"tighten up" my cooling system (111417G).
My
transmission has been completely rebuilt, my engine seems to be in good
running and working order, the body is great, the interior is fine, my
doors
work just fine, wheels are fine, tires only have 400 miles.

I do NOT need a complete restoration; I just want to fix the areas that
I'm
sure need some work.  I don't even know to be honest if I need ALL that
I've
listed earlier, but hey, while the car is apart might as well hit as much
as
possible.  Would Houston be a better alternative for that much work?  I
can
only afford about $7000 for repairs; does anyone have any experience with
Houston?  Could they do THAT much work for $7000?  I know what most of you
want to say "Well, call them up yourself and ask!"..I am going to do that,
but while I wait this weekend thought I might as well ask.  Is it
realistic
to have all of those compnents replaced for around $7000, or am I just
dreaming?
