At my Garage we replaced a front clip on a Duster in three days. That involved
Removing the sheet metal and the motor &trans.
Removing the front suspension.
replacing the complete unitized front after fixing the floors
installing all new suspension bushings and then putting the complete car back together.
Started on Friday. My "FRIEND" drove it home Monday night. $800 and we provided the clip.
I say with more friends like that you won't need any enemies.
