It is a good days work depending on how easily your 110 comes apart.
Did you supply new bolts and nuts for the bushes? I used to try and save my
customers a few quid by re-using the old bolts if they were not worn, but it
is not really worth it, much quicker to replace them all.
An ageing Defender can add hours to a job just because everything is rusted
solid. And not everything is advisable to heat up to remove !
It is all a learning curve, trying to fit customer in between other jobs is
always a nightmare. Especially for a Ramp hugging job like you are having
done. I now will not let customers just drop their car off on the off chance
of it getting done in between jobs much better to be booked into a definite
slot.
A vice is good enough. It is all I ever use, despite having a 20ton press
that as been sitting waiting to be put in the workshop for 15 years.
Wait and see on Monday ;-) he is probably having a busy weekend.
