If the original figure was a quote then he cannot charge you more for the work agreed. If additional work (to that agreed) was required then he should
have informed you before undertaking it.
If it was an estimate then the figure can be altered by a reasonable amount. My business is a member of Trading Standards, Fair Play Charter and that
specifies 10% variation from estimate before informing the customer.
Without knowing the full extent of the work it's hard to say for sure but what you described doesn't sound like £4000+ of work.

I hope you get this sorted.
If all you got is a handshake though, I would suggest he's trying it on.
To try and milk 50% more out of you without "forseeing" it and letting you know that the job would not be done for the agreed price, is at
best unproffesional at worst, crooked.
Good luck

thanks for all the imput chaps,
ive spoken to a few "friends" who have offered to help but for now that option is out of the question. i wont name and shame him just yet
as he might see sence and stop taking the piss. but he advertises in one of the mags every month and i met him at a stall at one of the shows.
have no fear if he does manage to shaft me i will go on every forum and website i can find and let everybody in the kitcar world know how he does
business...in these financialy hard times it should destroy him.
i feel like ive been bent over the bonnet and given a damn good shafting...
tell your freinds if they get a "proffessional" to finnish the last liitle bits off to make sure you get it as a quote rather than an
estimate.
i have a copy of the email i sent agreeing to to the QUOTE OF £4600 TO FULLY FINNISH THE CAR INCLUDIGNIVA AND AND REGISTRATION. i also has the email
he sent back thnking me for the agreement of ESTIMATED WORK.
so it looks like am a bit stuck.
one of my special love cuddles could be on the cards after all
ps is £40per hour over the top as what he charges
