Let's talk about that mechanic quote... πΈπ€ We DROVE Buster to the shop. The quote? $16,000 in repairs. For the brake booster and master cylinder alone? $3,800. After doing our own research, we're fixing the entire brake system ourselves for under $400. The "necessary repairs" they quoted? We can do ALL of it for less than $4K because there's nothing catastrophically wrong with our bus. This is why we're documenting The Buster Restoration Project - to show you that classic vehicle restoration doesn't have to break the bank. Sometimes mechanics see an old bus and see dollar signs. We see a project we can tackle ourselves. π§ Parts cost: ~$350 π° Mechanic quote: $3,800 β¨ Satisfaction: Priceless π Subscribe to follow our budget-friendly restoration journey π¬ Have you dealt with outrageous mechanic quotes?
