Considering the guy knows what his doing and has done it a zillion times

I also need the back slammed too

Is 6 hours max a realistic time or am i jumping the gun

Shazzas getting a whole new adjustable front end:beer

Hopefully in time for Valla:duh

Not sure about getting the back done as well in that time. You can spend a while getting both sides to match up which usually involves doing one side twice.

And remember if your changing brakes you need to bleed and adjust them.

They could be fast though, just dont give them any beer til they've finished.

Does that include taking the old front end off???
disconnecting the brakes, tie rod ends, speedo cable, shock absorbers and steering box.... after taking the fuel tank out????

Then putting another front end back in....
thats the easy part!!🙂🙂🙂
and adjusting the ride height!!! plus reconnecting all the above items.... bleeding the brakes... etc

What about remove & replace the axles hubs etc.. do these need to be taken OFF the old front assy and reassembled onto the replacement front Assy ???

I can't see the rear being done in a Rush..... unless these fellows have done heaps and can remember how many splines to lower it... to Your satisfaction....

Best of Luck...
