    Most people aren't motivated by "Future Money" but are by "Immediate Money" find someone that appreciates your business, and is willing to cut you a price break for being patient, but will diagnose it and set an estimate immediately. Find a mechanic that's allowed to work on side projects at the shop after hours, and tell him when you need it done by. The guy with the "Dead shop" is dead because nobody goes there anymore...You have to ask yourself why? Now I think you know.



    I'd find a shop that i like, and bring them repeat business. And as a side note, I only work with repair shops that fix run race cars or Demo Derby on the weekends. Those guys seem to get more done, with less $$ and are better mechanics IMO.

    On a side note...How much will you take for it As is? I've been looking for something like that, and I'll just put a Battery cut off connector on it!

    Thortek-
    That is great advice.. I am constantly hunting for a side mechanic.. hopefully I can find one soon! I'll send you a PM we can discuss.
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
