Default 03 Z06 rearend rebuild

I was wondering what the cost of parts + labor one would be looking at to get this all fixed up.

The pictures are all I have to work with right now, so it would have to be a worse case senario:





Thanks

is the rear end ok? that looks bad.. Now iv never worked on a C5 but you need trunk pans a 1/4 panel the bumper the driver side frame rail is probably tweeked the suspension needs work since that wheel is sitting funny bunch of other stuff here and there... i would say 4-6 grand. with paint.

OK

I seen it on CL, and went shopping on a site that specialized in Vettes. They offered most of the body parts, not including the trunk pan or suspenion and it only totaled $600ish... some parts already the same color.

I was hoping for a low cost project, but the suspenion has me worried

Thanks!

Is the left frame rail bent? Do you have a pic straight from the back?

I rebuilt an 02 z06 that had been flipped. I ended up replacing the frame and all. I would say that car would be about 4k - 5k repair realisticly. i replaced the trunkpan also its a p.i.t.a. but the dealer I found that had one in stock had never sold one so they cut me a deal just to get it out of their way.

As for the questions, I dont know other than what you see. It was on CL for $9400ish and thought I may have a chance to get my Vette early in life.

However, I tried to contact the person selling it, and well... he never called me back.
