Bought a VP for $800 last year and have been slowly working on it with a mate to try and get it roadworthy.. replaced quite a number of things and finally thought we were close to finishing it... took it to a Tester and the list is pretty long.
Among the main things, 'front seal leaking', 'rear main seal leaking', 'machine front rotors', 'machine rear disks', 'rear shocks leaking', 'speedo sensor leaking', 'engine mount sag'.
Any tips as to what I should do myself and what I should leave to him? He's quoted $1700 to do it all, but suggested I do some first. The only thing from the list that I'd definitely want to hand back to him would be the rear main seal... did one a couple of years ago on a VL and it was a bitch of a job.
There are also some little things like 'Indicator stalk doesn't always cancel', or 'no rooflining' (is that even a RWC component?) which I can probably also take care off.
For the stuff I mentioned above, he's quoted:
Front seal: $95, Rear Main Seal: $350, Front Rotors: $175, Rear disks: $175, Rear shocks: $45, Speedo sensor: $60, Engine mount $200 (both).... do these prices seem okay?
