Contingency & Risk
The windshield needs to be removed, so you may want to budget for windshield post tab repair and windshield seals. And as John mentioned, the “while you’re at it” is a risk to be considered.
If you want to get intimate with your car and test your patience and perseverance, you could do it yourself.

Writing a check or DIY ?
I did my own on my '61 for about $400 (everything new) 8-9 years ago using a cheap Romeo Engineering pad, it turned out OK but if I did it today I'd go first rate with an Al Knock pad which would about double the cost. If you are farming the whole job out I'd be surprised if somebody would do it for less than $2,500 on a C1. Its worse than pulling an engine, some say.

"Running and driving" are irrelevant to this job...
