Message	his or anyones at the moment. I have a handful of hours a week I can dedicate to garage time and plenty of cars already sitting here. What I don't understand is why you have to take crap tone w. Ashley like she doesn't turn her own wrenches. I can assure you that she has put in more garage time on more cars (Z32s and otherwise) then half the folks on here and certainly doesn't deserve any bullshit from anyone. We have stripped a whole car to bare frame in a day here. Multiple trans swaps in a day, pulled motors before lunch and had them back in the same day but none of that matters if the workmanship isn't worth a fuck. Sure I can flip a motor in a day - truth is, I just don't see the point or need in it. Your average shop, dealer or otherwise will quote book rates, they don't specialize and they don't have the benefit of 10 other swaps on the same motor under their belt. Can this guy get the work done in less time then 20 hours - sure but that doesn't mean that the shop is out of line quoting standard book rates.
