Looking for help to swap parts

[knarg]

hey guys,
i'm looking for some of you california bay area people (or any willing northwest coast people) to come help me out with stripping my 88lxi sedan parts car, as well as swapping parts into my hatch. i just want to get this all rolling so i can sell everyone stuff that i do not need, if not the entire car.

main stress would be transmission, suspension, and hood, for swap.

i have seats to go in but this will probably be a project for a farther future as I need to figure out how to mount them, as well as recondition one of them.

let me know if anyone is willing!

[MessyHonda]

you will have to schedule an appointment at the pico speed shop

[knarg]

it would definitely be a house call, i can't move both my cars :/

[che3wy]

hrm that does create a problem. if you can get it to pico's place i know i will definately be there. hopefuly good spirits to get a efi swap done too =). im down to help wid a plan.

[knarg]

well, you could take the entire car chewy and get it towed down to the bay, then i can drive down and work on it with whoever is willing, assuming you have a decent garage. i'm willing to help with the efi swap and whatever else.
hell, i'd let the car go cheap :)

[che3wy]

i dont currently have a very nice garage. i would say pico's be the best. he has a nice garage. im sure plenty of people arewilling to go to pico's place.

:wave:

k i just called around a couple towing places. cheapest from Sac to SF was 350. but this one guy recommended i get a car dolly and just tow it myself. just need a big pick up truck or suv with tow capability.

[MessyHonda]

sounds like a plan. the accord can tow.....tommy did it once...but he has a b20...haha

[che3wy]

yeah i dont think our accords have tow hitches... plus i wouldnt want any problems with law enforcements. cuz there are requirements bout that stuff. maybe we can set up a day/weekend to get this all sorted. who's in?

[russiankid]

Why don't you guys rent a dolly and take Geddys truck? He just needs a battery for it to run.

[MessyHonda]

lol yeah that sounds like a sweet plan yo.

[knarg]

oh i totally forgot! i have a hitch for my hatch, im looking to sell it!

but the dolly idea sounds good, i have a bolt-on tow bar too, from harbor freight
i used AAA Plus, since it's up to 100 miles free, so my 90 or so mile trip was free :D

Not sure if you have talked to Geddy yet but i just threw the idea out. I know that the truck should be 100% his at the end of this week.

whats wrong with yours? you said it just need a batt and windows?

[che3wy]

so i guess all we need to do is see if pico is willing to use his truck to tow the thing and a weekend to set it up. we can all go and escort the tow in our 3 geez. be like fast and the furious when the go buy all the parts for the supra

I would offer but my registration is expired and I havent had the time or the $$
to pay it, so we're not really driving the truck much at the moment.

[knarg]

AAA would be really easy if you are willing to give a tow up

im suprised this thread didn't get closed by admin -.-;;

[MessyHonda]

last time i tired to get a free parts car the AAA person told me the car need to have current tags....so i had to scratch that idea.

[knarg]

i have current tags :D

[MessyHonda]

k.....set up a date.

[che3wy]

yeah man set up a weekend so we can go up. i say first weekend of auguest

[knarg]

[che3wy]

^^ i think you got your wrong thread. but yeah anyone want to do the august 4th weekend? or the 11th?

[knarg]

hm, i'm not sure what weekend to shoot for. if my suspension work goes through this weekend, i should be set to get the car rolling, otherwise it's not going anywhere.

plus i just got my CAI, might install that too...

[MessyHonda]

well we are very short staffed at blockbuster right now....only 5 ppl work so 2 in the morn and 2 at night....i work all this weekend and i close everyday. we are going to get killed friday night with only 2 ppl.

[che3wy]

soooo the weekend of the august 10th, 11th and maybe 12th?

[knarg]

mostly, we need to ask pico/roger and see if anyone else is available to help out.

[Pico]

Just let me know ahead of time when you guys plan on doing this, I been pretty busy lately on the weekends with family, but sas long as I know ahead of time then it should be no problem

[knarg]

well, it's your house, your call haha

we just need to find a good time when we can get the most hands working to get everything done and cleared out of your shop.

the weekend of the 11th-12th (Sat-Sun) works for me and chewy so far.

[MessyHonda]
