View Full Version : Anyone want to do my E30 Auto-to-manual swap in SoCal? I'LL PAY!!
Vanshmack 09-05-2006, 01:55 AM 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!

BimmersinAZ 09-05-2006, 02:03 PM if i do remember correctly Mrobbin had a thread here a while ago and he seemed to be a reputable installer and he was doing stuff for people in socal for about half the price of shops. if you use the search feature im sure u can get his id and send him a pm.

Don't bring RIchard up like this.

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.
Vanshmack 09-09-2006, 03:29 PM 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.
CrotchMonster 09-09-2006, 08:48 PM 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.
Vanshmack 09-10-2006, 09:31 AM Understood! Well, thanks anyway!Anyone else have ideas?

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 have an appointment for Saturday to bring it in!
