shop estimate...a variety of large jobs to be done in 1 go

[Mr. Burns]

I'm parts hoarding over the winter time, and plan on having my e30 brought to a bmw specialty shop in the spring.
By specialty, I mean they HAVE worked on e30/e34/e36's and the like...they are not the cheapest, but they are guaranteed to have the right tools.

I have all the parts/major components, with the exception of little things like nuts/bolts misc. small items the shop can obtain

Here is a list of what is to be done:

-steering rack replace (replacing with OEM rebuild)
-rear subframe bushings (replacing with powerflex)
-rear trailarm bushings (replacing with powerflex)
-suspention all around (replacing with GC's+struts)
-brakes (new rotors/pads) (replacing with OEM)


with that said, I do anticipate a HIGH labour charge, I'm just wondering what a shop would quote in estimated hours...


I simply cannot afford the time to do this myself anylonger (kids) and still want to maintain the fun the E30 has given me all these years.

cheers,
Burns

Have you talked to them yet? Some shops won't use customer supplied parts. In my experience, the smaller specialty shops seem more OK about it than larger shops.

Oh and I would guess around $1500 complete shot in the dark.

Looks like about $1300 of labor
