If you have both cars there you'll have everything to do it

If you left the 2 cars, I'd quote between 360-720, that's covering 1-2 full days I'd be aiming for 6 hours to get everything in but there's no real knowing what it's going to do once it's in, it could take another day to get it running right or it could fire straight up and run like a dream, if it did I'd bill for around 250-280
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Forgot to say but depending on where your from that price could go up or down a fair bit, I've seen places that charge 25 per hour and others that charge 75+ per hour, the going rate here is around 45 per hour and that's what my prices are based on
