How many hours would it take a mechanic to do everything i.e. - taking the engine out of donor car and transfering it to my car.
Also whats the rough total price of parts? £700 ish?

A few of the people on here can easily do the job in a weekend.

average labour charge for people on the boards seems to be about £500 excluding the brake conversion (which is easy enough to do at home even for a novice)
