Yeh, its having plenty of time and effort spent on it so no chance of it being neglected.

To be honest, the bushes are really easy to fit although a vice does make life 10 times easier. Thinking about it, its the tool I use most without a shadow of a doubt, certainly worth you investing in one.

The tricky bit (or the bit which CAN be tricky) is getting all the components off without shearing seized / rusty bolts. I soaked everything in Plus Gas at least 3 times and drove it for about 2 weeks before even attempting it... seemed to work.
The other part that took a bit of time was getting the old bushes out, obviously if you have a bearing press its not an issue but the "burn and cut" method worked fine for me... again, you need a vice though really.

But yeh, its all "doable".
