unfortunately I am guilty of very badly mistreating my VW diesel "sandy" (named after my sister cause she's a pain in my rear) and so she spat a rod through the side of the block.

good news is that I've found a donor car that seems to have a good engine but got all smashed up, and purchased it,and I own the big fat factory service manual for the car. bad news is I still need to get it up here from west of new haven and then do an engine/tranny transplant.

I thought I'd ask if anyone would be interested in helping me get the little *&^% fixed up so I can save my gas money for stuff like shocks and a front bumper and the like. will most likely have to do everything in my driveway in the cold so I can't promise it will be fun.

find a might be easier toget AAA and become a platnum member for the unlimited towing.

mallcrawl:
even AAA platnum won't tow a parts car to my driveway
and I don't do business with AAA if you want to know why ask me when I'm about half drunk sometimes

rocket:
I've got all you need to do the engien swap, including the cherry picker and engine stand.  if you can get both vehicles to/from my  place, we can do it in a warm garage, else i can bring my equip to your place.  should be a half day job, if you get all the stuff preped (disconnecting all lines, wires, etc from both, removing accessories that will get in the way).  Just let me know what works.  I don't go to work till friday.

mallcrawl:
awsome, I'll definitly need to borrow that cherry picker at the least, and more hands are always welcome

I'm thinking it'll prolly be best to keep at least the parts car at my place where I can take my time stripping parts off it and choping it into recycler freindly size bites

kinda good/bad news in that my uncle called to day and let me know he'll be out here on the 8'th to help with it. So I'd be a jerk to get it done before he got here. in the meantime I'm gonna clean up my garage enough that I can get one car at a time to work on them out of the weather.

I'll get in touch towards the end of next week, when I have a better idea how the week of the 6'th will be treating me.
