    Jeez dude, theres something definitely seedy about with those mechanics.. 4-5k is a crazy amount..

    As for the other work required from the report I’ve estimated it at approximately $970. This includes left high beam light, new rocker cover gasket, steam clean engine, wheel alignment, reset rear muffler, locate/make bushes for gear selector, Rectify right front wheel guard hitting tyre.
    Is ridiculous..

    As everyone recommends, either learn to do it yourself or get someone to come give you a hand. There are plenty of awesome folks your way.
    Its the little things..

    Or you could do it yourself and save $1000.

    Actually you'd be saving $900. The other $100 would be for beer for whoever on this forum lives near you and could help.

    Cheers

    Send out a "Help me" note for anyone interested in free beer. Even if they just look over your shoulder as you do it.

    The work isn't hard but you need to know what you're doing and who knows, pretty soon you could be helping other guys.

    If you were down Braidwood way I'd give you a hand.
