Default 03 A6 Timing Belt

So, I am not a mechanic by profession, but I enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together. My local garage wants ~$1400 for a timing belt job. I can get the parts and rent the tools from Blauparts for ~$600. Is this a DIY for someone who just does basic maintenance? I have seen videos and read up on the procedure to the point where I have myself convinced that this is something that I can do. I just need a little push in either direction. The shop says its about a 6 hour job. I would plan on dedicating at least 12-24 hours of my time given my inexperience. So any thoughts?
