It may have been a PITA of a week so far but progress on me and the cars is being made.
If I do end up nailed to a perch when I should be pushing up the daisies it will be nice to leave two big beautiful fat slag Volvos behind  |
That's a very good price for fitting! I need to replace the rear front subframe on my own gold beastie (there are two front subframes, a rear one and a front one and a longtitudinal link between them on it) and based on the work involved, i expect it to be 3-4 hours work for a fully equipped garage - i'm doing it myself so expect it will be 3-4 days work instead.
Yours sounds like a couple of hours work which is a lot less!
Hopefully you won't end up nailed to a daisy or swimming with the perches anytime soon and all will be well, an S80 V8 is still on my lottery list but my winnings need to improve first - last win covered 8 gallons of BP Ultimate unleaded and that was it!
That said i should have a nice chunk of change coming my way in about 15 months time so maybe i'll treat myself then although if i do it will be a toss up between an S80 V8 and a Lexus LS400 Mk1 although the thought of a respray for my gold beastie is still contending with those ideas!
