Doing work on local 240s...

Just an idea,

I'm thinking about just doing some sidework out of my garage.

Things i could do would be.

Mechanical
Engine swaps
Possible engine builds
5-speed swaps
Trans swaps
Clutch swaps

Suspension:
Coils and strut/spring combos
Possible Energy suspension bushings
Strut bars/sway bars
Brakes/rotors

Install:
Radios
Amplifiers
Subwoofers
Most Electrical stuff

Interior:
Gauges, steering wheel swaps, most interior shit

Diff swaps (lsd, welded etc.)

Also i may be able to offer powder coating and sandblasting.

Just looking to help out local 240 owners.

If enough intrest, i can get some prices on stuff.

very nicce... HOW MUCH

NICE. Give us ballpark figures NOW.
You might have a customer right here. ITS FUCKING COLD.

im willing to do the same things. joe and i talked about it a little today. we can work together and split the price.

split the price or the profit?

profit. you know what i mean...

yes we would split the profits.

Depending on what it is. No reason for me or him to give profits to each other if only one of us does the work lol

Tell me what you guys are intrested in and i'll get a price.

How much to put in my new wheel bearings, lower ball joints and outer tie rod ends?

The tire-rod ends come w/ the ball joints IIRC.

AS for the wheel bearings, i'm pretty sure you need a press and it's not something we could do.

Unless your talking about the control arm ball joint.

NOoooooooooo.
IM pretty sure the tie rods and ball joints are seperate. Dunno. ill make sure tomorrow at work.

But the tie-rods ends usually have the ball joints installed already.

What kinda tie-rods are you getting? I just ordered SPL.

i think he meant the balljoint that is on lower control arm, balljoints and tie rods are both attached to the steering knuckle... and they are both easy to change, well maybe balljoints will be alittle harder...and as for wheel bearing u will need to press it in there... but u can go to autozone or murrays and rent out the tool for it...

REally!?

i cant really remember about wheel bearing... but for balljoint yes... last time i was doing wheel bearing the cheap way, i took out the steering knuckle took it to a local shop and payed them like 20 bucks for them to take out and put it in... but balljoint and tie rod are very easy to do...

Hey, like i said me and kev are jsut here to try to help people. We've had alot of experience w/ all of this.

Sure everyone could do their own work if they wanted to.

And for stuff like wheel bearings, we obvioulsy cant do because we dont have a press. Paying $20 is a great deal then to have someone else do it.

how much to do a 5peed swap?

Probably around $200.

Also, I can do:

Compression Test
Leak-down Test: $15

let me build my engine in your garage???

i'll do all the work myself, just need the heated garage part :p

Damn! specter u must really need ur car thank god i live by the train

I dunno, your gonna have to wait till i get my car done.

Okay, question, how much for a half done manual swap, the pedals are installed all the parts are off, there is no pilot bearing in, You just need to put in the pilot bearing, the clutch, the flywheel, and the transmission in, the rest like the clutch shit, and the driveshaft Ill find time for. The thing is that I just cant put the pilot bearing in and I broke 3 already cause they don't fit, and Ive tried the freezer trick, just no time...

i duno like $50?

plus fuel cause you live slightly far away, like 1 hour drive...
...If you were would bring tools? Cause I don't really know what you need to fit that piece of shit bearing in there...

Cool how much for a SR swap and 5 speed swap on a 1997 S14?
