I've got a week off next week and I'm planning on doing some work on me 110 ready for it's MOT and some general maintenance. It occurred to me that if I had to take it to a garage and pay to have it all done I'd need a bloody mortgage. How much do you reckon it'd cost to get this lot done? Just labour.

Welding: patch one bulkhead outrigger, repair both footwells, replace both rear outriggers, patch chassis rail near fuel tank(tank will have to come out), 2x patch on rear crossmember.
Fit new seals to front brake calipers.
Rebuild swivel housings, bearings, seals etc.
Fit new steering damper.
Replace propshaft u/j's.
Replace rear a-frame ball joint.
General service inc all oils, belts etc.
Fix dicky earth to rear lamp.
Plus anything else I might find as I go through the above.

Go on, have a stab at a price to do that lot so I can feel good when I've done it meself and saved a few bob;)
 
It cost me £250 for a bit of welding at the back of my chassis rail (spring had to come out), a new rear shock absorber mount and a new steering joint at the bottom of the drop arm. So I'd expect quite a lot!
 
Aye I was thinkin about a grand, plus a couple of hundred for the bits. Mind you that's from paddocks they'd be twice the price from a garage or about 4 times from a LR dealer. Shocking innit.
 
Feck, just remembered I need a new windscreen too. Had a search going on egay for a few months but nothing's come up local enough. Anyone had one fitted by a windscreen place? How much was it?
And me rear wheel bearings need adjusting or possibly replacing. If I crashed it the insurance would probably write it off if the bill ended up as big as this:eek:
 
Yeah cheers busterbus that's a good un. I've actually done a similar job on some side windows in a van I use dto have it's not too hard. Wonder if I can get the glass cheap from paddocks or somewhere?
 
Just had a good poke around underneath and discovered that all me suspension bushes are a bit knackered too:( Dun't look like I'll get it all done this week now:mad:
