[W126 Coupe] FW: reapir cost questions

[eurotech1 at charter.net]

Hi Tom, 

  I have AllData Online, which will give the exact labor times, as well as current dealer pricing on parts, not that I would expect you would be taking it to the dealer for all these repairs, but it would give you an excellent guideline for comparison. If you would like me to put figures down for your projects, e-mail your list to me, I would be happy to help.

                       Later,
                Christopher Huffine
