That's an ugly question. I'm going to post a final $ report when I"m done for all to consider. I saved about $200 (or something) thanks to Bob Donalds! I would say, not counting all the set backs due to part order error (on my part and Bus depot's part), about $1600, BUT I had to buy a LOT of tools to do the job and I'm going to sell them CHEAP when I'm done. I figue it would cost about 1500-2000 in labor alone for the same job(s) if I went somewhere..
