Default Bucket of rust, but expensive?.

.while working at a jag joint some time ago, one of those rocket up and the owner asked for the front brakes to rebuild, all that was required was a set of, discs, calliper pistons, seals, wheel bearings.
And all the parts were genuine Austin martin, well they said not a problem, they went to place the order for the parts, and they sent back the total price on the those said items to be..........$20,000.00AU, now its been a few years since this happened, but the figure always stayed in my mine.
Now if you were to wreck a car, I wonder what the price would be on eBay if you were to break all the items down.
This doesn’t sound so bad when they would charge some pore sole over $6000 for an a/c unit into an mk1 jag, and over $60,000+ for a cheep resto on an xj6 ser3
