Our record for an engine drop (Aircooled) is five minutes. Engine and box, with full workshop facilities, 2 hours max, assuming everything is rusted solid.

There is a very fine line between solicitors fees and robbery.
Same goes for vets.

They will be cleaning up on pet insurance contracts then, the 1k+ work that can now be done where previously people couldnt afford it. Of couse, now anyone with a pet insurance policy is paying a share of these thousands... or to look at it another way, buying the vet a multi million pound pad.
oh, and to get back on topic... i reckon it took me about 8 hours to get the all the carat bodykit off mine (including drilling out all the rivets)... mostly due to being a complete amateur at dealing with rusty fixings, figuring out where all the fixings were, and taking time and care not to wreck anything. I think if I put it all back on I could have it off again in an hour or so now.

Re: How long to remove a set of side planks
off topic i know. my daughter is a state registered vetinary nurse and the vets rip the nurses off more than the punters. we use wern vets north wales - google it if you are in range? its a big practice so they buy big and can afford to be cheaper on vacs, jabs etc
wasnt much use at removing side planks ? sorry
