I've been getting a few verbal estimates and doing some searching on costs for rebuilding the type4. It seems like the magic number is right around 10k for a good quality complete rebuild, adding a few goodies like head work, cam, etc. I know it's a very broad subject and there's a lot of contributing factors on what impacts the overall price but I'm just looking for a ballpark for right now. I can't afford a Raby build but also don't want something I can't rely on. Thanks for the input.

We have 2 examples on this forum where the DIY approach did not work and had to be done 2x or 3x and expensive help brought in at the end. I consider myself very mechanical but I do not want to try a rebuild like this for my first and possibly only one.
