[Healeys] Hello

[Michael Salter]

Very good question.
All the work that you describe requires an individual with significant
skill(s). These tasks are not something that your "run of the mill" parts
changer can undertake.  In our part of the world (Canada) those "parts
changers", without breaking a sweat can easily pull in 6 figures which
equates to $50/hr. $50/hr paid to the tradesman will typically be charged
out at an hourly rate of at least $100.
In my book a full restoration takes 1200 hours at least, usually a lot more
to produce concours standards.
So labour ONLY $120K.
Parts and materials usually at least 50% of labour. $60K.
Incidentals at least another $20K
It's getting up there 😳😳
