so here's the deal:
Got a friend, blew his motor, and got a '97 KA with 5 speed swap to replace it.
but...
We don't have the proper tools, mostly cherry picker, to get the swap done.
Also, he's not very mechanically inclined, if any...so I'm the only that's gonna end up doing all the work. I'd love to do it, but work is catching up and I don't have much free time.
So if anybody from LA/OC area, we live in Garden grove/Westminster area, that's willing to help, It'd be much appreciated.
I'll provide lunch and beer.
should be an easy swap, KA to KA, but we just don't have the resource.
HELP A BRO OUT!

im hoping for either this sunday, next saturday, or that same sunday. which one is best for you? any weekends after that are also welcomed, i just need to get it done as soon as possible. no ride to school (had to drop 2 classes, ouch), no ride to work (just got the job), and i'm in serious debt. it sucksssss.
just learning from my mistakes and hopefully get this taken care of soon so i can go back to school without paying 3 dollars every time i need a ride. :\
