Amazing price and quick service.

Around here is takes two weeks just to get an appointment and they would charge twice as much.

It'll make someone a nice Christmas Present. :beerchug:

Stopped in this afternoon to drop off some new brake pads that he could install for me. Also having the rotors turned.

When I got there around 4pm, he already had the trans back together and was putting it back in place.

Here is the old 4th clutch shaft... polished smooth

He said it would be ready tomorrow morning sometime after he can give it a test drive. I won't be able to pick it up until evening though since I need a ride.

Done and back home, works great!

If I want to make this car perfect, I need to replace the downpipe, as the flex joint is leaking. I'll do that tomorrow morning and then put it back up on craigslist.

Had this car listed for weeks at $5500, not a single hint of interest. I lowered the price to $5000 obo, and still no interest. Two days ago I relisted the car at $4500 firm.... and that finally sparked some interest... LOTS of interest. I had 4 people test drive it, just today. One guy was very serious about it and somehow he got me down $200 for a purchase price of $4300. I am delivering the car tomorrow. Money in the bank, about $2400 profit.

Really great work. I'm always amazed by your turn-arounds. As always, your mad interior removing/installing skills astound me. :hail:

Good thing I don't live closer, I would have given him $6.500 for it......US!
