HEAD GASKET FITTING... ROUGH GUESTIMATE ?

my impreza was kinda built on a budget by the previous owner gradually iv been putting things how they should have been in the first place

iv got some genuine STI gaskets from Import car parts already just need a rough estimate on fitting

think your looking at around a 1000quid for it to be done right and by someone who know what they are doing for example andy kindon

Like Trev said you need to get it done properly - i.e with the heads skimmed and genuine Subaru or Cosworth head gaskets. Give Andy Kindon a call mate and ask him for a price - you might get a nice surprise - but most reputable specialists will charge you around that price. Get it done cheaper and not properly and you will be paying to get it done again before very long.

exactly

I think you will find that there are a few guys that can do the work to an acceptable standard for you on here - everybody will have their preferred person to do that work so it is entirely up to you - call all 3 and ask them for a price to do the work and go with who you think is best - not who everybody else would give their money to - because it's your money at the end of the day and your car. Good luck

1k for doin headgaskets and bits .are the gaskets made of gold leaf and kevlar timing belt...

As marshffs says get in touch with Steve Jones he is in the bussiness section

£1k for doing headgaskets?   

I'm changing professions  . I'd say youre looking at half that value with gaskets included provided no major head work is required.
