I'm having trouble finding a shop to do my E30 swap. I contacted EMW over in the San Gabriel Valley, but they wanted my first-born to do it!

Here's the deal, I have the full kit needed to do a swap. I don't have a garage or the tools to do it.

If you've done this swap, you have a garage and tools, and you want to make some money, contact me and we can talk. E-mail: vanshmack@aol.com

If you can recommend a shop that won't ask for my left testicle to do the swap, let me know!

he's good and might enjoy the fact that others would refer business to him. he can chose whether or not he wants to take any possible jobs.



don't try to be his secretary.

I'll try to get a hold of crotchmonster! So far , all of the other recommendations have failed to return calls or e-mails.

Why are you recommending him to others without consent? If you knew anything about the guy, you would know this would upset him.

Vanshmack, sorry Richard doesn't do work on peoples' cars anymore. I wish I had some one else to recommend, but I don't really know any mechanics.

Give "The M Shop" in Eagle Rock a call, they might give you a good price.

Just called them. They've never done it, and they're going to call me back with a price.

I run a small shop in Reseda, and I did this conversion a few times in the past. I can do it for you for a $600 if you have all the parts.
