If you're doing some of the work too...then yeah it's a lot of money. But sounds like you're asking him to completely rebuild your car... so 3.5k... is about right thinking of all the labour involved.

yeah that's all i could think the extra money would be for. the strip and refit. Unless he gold plates cars £1000 is a great woody dude!!!

I've stripped the car to the bare shell. Right now it is completely devoid of parts except fot the subframes. The windows are gone, the interior is gone, no engine, etc, etc.......... My plan is to take off the subframes and just give him the bare shell. I've even removed the doors, the boot, and the bonnet. He even told me it would take him until November to get to the car. I think I'm in the wrong business. I have another guy coming over this weekend to give me an estimate.

Alot of the time, if a garage doesn't want to do a job, they will give you a ridiculous quote, rather than send you away. It's easier and more profitable to work on new cars that just require a panel change and quick paint, than to work on a car that's going to use up a weeks floor space.

Thats so true.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. How much (in general) should I be paying?
I'd have thought anything upto about £2000 sounds about right.

Would be worth going down that route for the kind of money they are looking at.
Around £1000 - £1500 I would reckon to do the job you described.
