If it were any night I was not working I think I could squeeze a quick roadtrip in to york! I'm 1pm-11pm though with about a 40 minute commute to home, so my hours are off and that is a static sunday - wed schedule. If you can wait a couple days and nobody else steps up I can totally come up! Zach or Dr Evil perhaps? I know Zach has a munchkin and stuff. |

If I didn't have a 15 year old dog waiting at home for me, I would take you up on it.
Travel outside of commuting to work is definitely curtailed these days for me. |

Joe, if you are around tonight I *may* be free. It all depends on what time Erin gets home, and if she is willing to watch Theo alone. I'd not be able to stay too long, but I could help get it up and in the car maybe. I'll call you later and see whats up.

I'm cleared to help tonight. I doubt I will be there before 6 though. I am guessing probably 6:30.

Joe:
I can help out tonight if you need another set of hands. Never installed a type IV motor, but have removed/installed about 10 type 1 VW engines. I will be going through this myself in a few months. I will PM you my contact info. Bob |
