Although your only looking at getting a few parts / rust patches repaired you can expect any workshop to take 2 weeks alone jus to do that...
Read some books at ur local library and see if you can do it for urself...
the sand and respray is totally out of the 2 week time limit... if you expect a body shop to strip, sand, bog, prime , paint, sand, paint, smooth, and clear coat in less than a cuple months give or take the que of other cars before yours...
maybe 2pac isnt as involved... but you get the point... do as much as you can by urself...
probably be looking at 2k+ for a complete respray

Personally I think you may be expecting them to do it a bit quick, if you can spare a little extra time, give them a little extra time, that way they aren't stressed and will do a proper job.
I'm in the process of restoring my XX, and doing things right takes a long time. I sure as hell don't want any of the rust coming back!
The quotes I got for doing my car ranged from $1800, to $8000 (yes, thats right, $8k).

red oxide has always worked for me
its lead based though, so you'd have to know someone with it!

Hey, To save yourself some money do all the R+R (remove & replace) yourself your not only its saving money your learning about the car at the same time. Get quotes of a few people and ask them what they recommend regarding a back to metal respray or just rubbing a few layers off it to make sure its all good. I got my ute done (full respray plus rust & dent repairs) for $4200.
