    Need to pick your very knowledgable early bay brains please

    Sure there are are always some unforeseen problems but from my experience from doing previous buses, on my current resto, I agreed what needed doing and got a fixed price of £1800 for the labour. You'd be nuts to drop it off at a garage without any idea of what the bill was gonna be....

    Fair point but if you're experienced enough to know what you want replaced, you can agree a price.

Mine was a lot worse that that looks and cost me £1800 for welding and £500 for parts at VW welding in Manchester incl front arches, cills, rear corners, battery trays, rear valance, front valance...
