As DickT said you can do all of it yourself, and I agree with him on the importance of the drivetrain parts.If you take it easy on take offs and clutch releasing (if standard) the motor mounts should be doable till then. As for the job to do them the rear swaybar bushes are easy, the new ones are cut to slip over the bar just soak the bolts repeatedly till you are ready to do the repair. they are held in with 2 10mm bolts. the motor mounts are a bit tricky and you should use alot of care doing it!!! Safety first!!! you need to remove the bolts that hold the upper mounts together and the one to the body (14mm bolts two of them and a 17mm nut) then loosen and remove the nut ontop of the lower mounts (either 17 mm or 19 mm I can't remember right now) then rmove the 13mm bolts that hold the mounts to the frame 2 on the front and three nut and bolts for the rear one, then you need to jack the engine up high enough to lift the mounts out of the frame and install the new ones you need to make sure that you pay attention to details and put the stoppers and brackets on the new ones then lightly thread the bolts to the frame then lower the engine down slowly to make sure the engine sets on the new mounts correctly then finish the tightening of all the bolts and nuts then put the top mounts back in.
good luck
