Any thoughts on how much it'd cost to restore this rig?

Any thoughts on how much it'd cost to restore a rig like this? Craigslist Post
PROJECT 4X4 FORD 1 TON ALL FIBERGLASS, 23FT - $1500.

I don't have the tools or facilities to take on a project like this, but I keep thinking how fun this project could be and how cool it'd be when completed. I'm estimating it'd take years to complete for someone like me who wasn't retired.

    If you can and do the work yourself, cost way less to restore it than buy one new. Especially a 4x4 ... altho, it's important the shell is in good shape ... other than that, it's sweat equity and parts ... and it's exactly how you want it...

    Think $100K+ for a new 4x4 Tiger, for example, then decide.

    All RV's cost more than they're worth.
    It would be a good project if you had the tools, ability and a place to store it during the restoration. It would be an expensive project.

    Way more that its worth. Just to get it in running condition could cost you 5K. Interior could run to 10K depending on a lot of variables. Exterior prep and paint maybe another 10K.
