Troy -

Seems kind of in the ball park if you have some good West Coast rust - my
parts ended up costing me $2,650...full door and window seals, mats,
carpets, propane tank, gutter trim, bumper end caps, bumper strip, decals,
odds and ends, shipping, taxes etc.  Rust repair $2,500.  WaxOyl treatment &
cabinetry removal & replacement $1,200.   Paint & prep $6,200 - paint taken
down to bare metal.

I didn't lift a finger - and paid for it.  My van was about a 6 out of 10 in
terms of rust.

Here is the story...
