Righty, as you long timers will know I sent Alice down to a freinds dad to be worked over. 6 Months ago. She was to recieve a rebuilt v-8, a "make over" (body) and have a floor shifter installed from a doner car that he has.
You also know that he had an accident a month or so back. I gave him 1300$ for the doner car, the engine and the labor. He has a freind of his helping him at the moment BUT his freind will stop if he doesn't get money soon... (Helllooo?)
Alice is in peices right now. Nicky (the other mav I finally had to get because it was taking so long) is falling apart (needs the pitman arm put on and has SOME vaccumm leak that is causing me no end of hell).
Terry needs a tranny cross member for the 302 (holding some the work up I guess). I NEED a F****** (scuze the french but I am almost in tears here I'm so upset!) I've tried suggesting that I get a mechanic freind of mine to help (no soap... he doesn't want a "lot of people around") and I have offerd AGAIN to come down (rickety car and all) to help myself (somewhat accepted... I'm supposed to call later this week *sigh*)
I am down to "beer and pizza" money as far as repairs on Nicky goes. I have the pitman arm, can get the ball joint.. can't afford the 100$ bucks to put it on and I have NO clue (well, rumor has it it could be a bad intake manifold).
I wanted to use the money from the sale of Nicky to buy paint for Alice and maybe some tyres/rims but right now I just need some help to keep him running.
Can someone help a tearfull fellow Mav owner in Distress?
I live north of Seattle but I can (push and pray) Nicky somewhere...
