Re: How much $ to charge for engine assembly?
I still remember a vet that looked after my cat really well in '88 ; he must
have guessed that I was young with no money, and he only charged £20 quid for the operation and all the jabs she needed, and pretended that was the normal rate. It was my first job in a new city, so I knew nobody and life was tough. I had found the cat abandoned and figured we were both in the same boat, so I kept it. I tried to find that guy a few years later to say thanks again, but he had moved on. Made me realize that I could repay the favour by following his example..
