I currently have an 86' camaro sport coupe that I purchased new in 86'. Engine and tranny have been rebuilt, along with replacing the majority of things that can be replaced. Anyway, the paint is shot, door damage, and nose plastic damage. Paint shop estimates run about $4500 for a decent job. I recently purchased a garage kept 86' (in my original paint color) with a blown engine, but pristine body and paint. How difficult would it be to swap the bodies? How much do you think it would cost to have a garage do it? Any input would be appreciated.

 

If the frame is in as good of condition as the body, I hate to say it, but, your best bet would be to swap engine and tranny. Then go through the electrical of the "New" car and swap as needed.
