Doing it the proper way takes time and effort way Too many places out there offering These services But only doing cover up jobs . Having stripped a few cars back to bare metal it can’t be done for 4-500 euros , to do it properly the proper materials cost more than. 3 litres of rust bullet paint 220 euros , upol raptor bed liner 5 litres 250 euros . Remove all the subframes and metal parts and get them powder coated New bushings and bolts cleaned your looking at 4-5k if the shell is solid with a small bit of welding . Paint job your looking at 3-5k for a decent paint job + an engine build it’s going to be an expensive build to be honest for a 94 wagon your looking at 10-15k to do it all right
to be honest what is any car worth to its owner ? i have owned this car over 20 years and i have owned at least 5 other ones that were always fixer uppers and would like to get this one done right . finished i fully realise the amount of time and money it will cost just was asking if anyone on here knew of a good place that could take it on to do it right as i love the wagons and want to do it justice .Could you buy a spotless clean wagon new engine and paintjob for 15k not at the moment i dont think ! but if anyone could recomend a place as while i know where i could get it sprayed properly its the other prep work as described above that makes the difference THANKS
MAN HEARING TERRIBLE REPORTS ABOUT THAT PLACE ITS ONLY OUT THERE MAYBE 18 MONTHS AND EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT STANDARD OF THEIR WORK
They are destroying cars...how you can sandblast a car fully intact (grit and rubber seals / bearings etc ... lovely) and then lash aload of black undercoat over everything and call it job done, disgrace , ive seen cars they have destroyed

Its shocking to think someone thinks blasting an intact car is a good plan. I do a small bit of glass blasting for timber projects and metal prep and the stuff goes everywhere and can do serious damage. I mean I wont strip my car fully before giving it treatment but I'm going to hand prep it with wire wheels and brushes and then treat it once prepped correctly. Maybe in 5 years if I still have her Ill strip it, rebush and powder coat but thats a bit off yet, my yokes a brand new 2004 car, she is way too young for that work yet!! 
ye was asking about that place at weekend one of my mates took a camper to them got a bad vibe off them and left got talking to another camper owner and he has them up in court
