Re: about to sink 25-30k into my 1989 Suburban..is it worth it? pics included

If they are quoting $15-$18k, assume at least 15-25% over that is what you will actually pay in labor. There are always unknowns with these projects. For example: will they loose half a day repairing damaged threads and hardware or just buying new, will any of the interferences removed have costs associated with replacing gaskets, hoses, etc., will smoothing out the firewall reveal hidden hidden rust unknown right now that needs to be dealt with?

Just some thoughts on what to expect. Most businesses under estimate to get the work.
