I live in Batavia and would be game for helping. Not sure how much help I could be though, my work schedule has been all over the place these last few weeks.

As a former resident of Zion (Zompton) I would be willing to help out. Let me know what you need and when you need it.

I'm in cook county FAR north side of the city. My buddy drives down here almost every day to help out at my warehouse or futz with his car.
If you've seen a 2 door carbon fiber hooded acura legend at autox, that would be my buddy.
if you need something in the new/rebuilt part department let me know,

I have an 86 bmw 535i - doing DD duty now - it is capable of an arrive and drive at the challenge (it's done about 4k miles in my hands - could drive to Gainesville in this one) - but it would be better with a few mods - lower, ltd slip, lightened and perhaps themed (there's a fantasy in there with bavarian barmaids and an oompah band, but I digress...) - it's dull bronzit beige - blech - but kinda invisible for DD. It could make it in Caveman class or sub $1000 or ....just add boosts.

Also have a 72 MGB that was a dns last year. Budget is probably blown, but it's going anyway - it's the principle. Probably needs 80 -100 hrs. Mostly minor fabrication - headers, shock tabs, etc. and creating an unorthodox clutch set up (pneumatic over hydraulic with flappy paddle actuator). I have a track session booked in July for it - so this one has some time issues.

I'm taking a couple days off (see poke in the eye with sharp stick thread). Otherwise in the garage on the weekends and most evenings. Help, teammates, company is welcome.

Eye is pretty much good to go - yea antibiotics and steroids. I think cko and I are hitting the pick n pull in Wadsworth on Sunday (1/2 price weekend). He's looking for a trans (th 350ish). Keeping my eyes peeled for bmw e34s for big brake upgrade and lsd. The more the merrier or need anything?
