I just wanted some input and had a few questions about an 1983 Scottsdale.

I just purchased it for 800 dollars from my uncle. It’s got a brand new frame because it was recently restored to a “Good” condition.

It has some rust around the fender wells, the tail gate, and the doors. Not much just enough to need some work, and repainting. Also It needs a new grill, and I would like to replace the Door Panels, and the Dash, because they are blue and I plan on refinishing the truck and I want them to match the exterior.

I was wondering if anyone had a good estimate on what fixing the rust spots, sanding, priming, repainting, fixing the grill, and doing some interior work woudl cost?

Also it has a 350 4 Barrel.

Any advice, comments, or suggestions would be great.

before it just went in 1rst gear we put some seafoam in it and now it goes into 2nd and 3rd every now and then but it dont last long in 3rd,it all started when the belt broke and we had to try to get it home,with 1 belt instead of 2.
it is automatic transmission
it is automatic transmission after the sea foam it is alot better it works in 1rst and 2nd good now,but 3rd is where it goes in and out of.
