so im getting pretty desperate on getting my car done. Im just looking for some assistance problem is i dont know enough to get some of it done.. there is not much left at all i have been told a good days worth or work or less would complete it. At this point if i can get some good help im even willing to pay money, buy food,buy parts, give parts do whatever.

the motor is already in with the tranny on..i believe most of the eletrical stuff is done and turbo is on i would say thats as far as i am.

anyone willing let me know whats up.

i work everyday from 8-430 but i would take off to get this done with a few days notice im uually free all weekends

Maybe I missed it but...what were you doing with the motor out? Was this a 6-bolt swap?

Is this car sitting in a garage? heated garage?

It sounds like the hard part is done, unless you are doing a 6-bolt conversion. Just put the halfshafts in, exhuast, ic piping and finishing plugging in the wires. I wouldnt mind helping out sometime. I work at nights, so if you have a day you take off for someone else helping you, I will come out and lend a hand.

yea more info..i thought most people knew the situation.
quick brekdown

-6 bolt swap started about 2 years ago
-motor F's up everytime so i rebuilt it 4 times so far this time i decided to do it right and invest money on getting it done right.

The Car is in...more of a garage/barn next to a shop that builds race cars so usually any tool is available if i need it. Its not heated, but i have to big heaters that for sure keep it warm enough around the car. last time i was there it was 20 outside and i was working in a t shirt so it gets warm.

why would it not be close to done if i did the 6 bolt all the modifications have already been done.

You said that it f'd up everytime, so you have rebuilt it 4 times. What messed up? Has the motor turned over and ran on its own. I just did the 6-bolt swap in a 95 in the fall and it took us about a week to figure out the timing and all the wiring.

What is all left to do? Also, where do you live or where is the car?

one time we built it before putting it in
one time we think just head gasket
one time pistons looked fd up
last time spun rod bearings we originally pulled it because it just wasnt runnign right lol so i said screw it im doing it from scratch.

The car is in hillard...off cemetary
really not much is left to do at all...i think maybe the hardest thing left to do is...xfer case lol.. and lots of small stuff

Marc is lazy..Most of the hard work is done, its just all the small stuff that needs to be done. Turbo is on and ready to go. If i can remeber right, all ic pipes are hooked up. He needs to install thermostat, uppers rad. hose, lower maybe?. PLug in a few connecters, exhaust, x-case, halfshafts..other small little stuff.

And it does get pretty warm in the little barn that the car is in. Last time we ened up shutting off the heater b/c it got so warm.
