Quite an impressive feat!
Car is a 2019 with 23k on it and a decent spec too.

Car was purchased for just shy of £19k.
Parts and labor and all other associated costs came to just over £30k.

Two man dedicated team on mechanical took 18 hours (not a fixed price here due to the nature of the job so cost was based on people and hours.)
One man dedicated to body work 4.5 days at 8 to 9 hours a day. (Price for bodywork was fixed and agreed at start.)

So the car was circa £50k for him all in.

Bare in mind at the time in the UK, they were starting at £55k for a straight car.
Subsequently since then the market has cooled a bit and they are starting at around £48k now. (I don't see them dropping too much more any time soon, but who knows!)
Wow, that makes this even more impressive! Thanks for filling us in!
