    What’s a rough cost for a m57 swap with all the other necessary parts/extras which may include brakes, axel/diff exhaust and transmission? etc for a DIY job, as I still would like to have all the best parts from Mahkar yet still get hands on and install it myself, would this be a service that you can provide. Also keep up with the amazing videos, love watching them.
