*Pricing Structure UPDATE July 2022*
Due to Demand and rising costs of parts and labor. (High End Driver Quality Restos are no more, sorry Guys)
All restorations are now Show/Concours Quality
Body Off Restorations (All of our work today is Body Off.)
Prices are Between $70 – $100,000 all depending on the year and condition of the BuG. The high end of the estimate means the usual areas where the bug needs structural repair, heater channels, rockers, floor pans, wheel wheel sections, cross members etc, but not always. The more rot, the more labor. The saying is “Do it Once, and do it RIGHT!” If your Beetle does have structural rust of any kind, it will be a body off. The price range is wider in this section due to the labor, the increasing cost in parts, and the HIGH DEMAND for the Split and Oval Window Beetles.
We perform total ground up complete restorations. We specialize ONLY in the Classic VW Beetle. We take pride in every bug we produce and we know what is correct for your Vdub. We do not chop, cut, and or modify body structure in anyway. We prefer to keep the integrity of our bugs intact, this will only make our bugs appreciate in value year after year.
You are essentially driving off our lot with a brand new Classic VW Beetle!
As the restoration kicks into high gear for your car, you will be able to see the transformation on this website HERE along with frequent email updates of pics and video.
