Amazing work. The E39 is still a great looking car. That had to be expensive.

Rickrack · 08-21-2008, 01:20 PM

Thanks!

It is very tedious work and takes a lot of patience!

The total price depends on how many hours are spent on each job. This car took a total of about 40 hours to complete and I charged the body shop a discounted wholesale rate because they send me lots of work.
