Hi,

I'm planning a few improvements here and ther for the old girl (SIII Shortie) and have a fully reconditioned 200 TDi engine on the way. Now my problem is twofold, I have a vast lack of knowledge in the mechanical field and the one shed I have access to (Dad's) lacks vital objects such as an engine hoist etc. Also while dad has some basic mechanical knowledge he has never done anything like this.

Now for the request: (I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for this kind of help??)

I'm at uni and the mid semester break is coming up, just over a week long, I'd love to get the swap (currently a 186 powers her) done then. Is there someone around Sydney or Melbourne areas or inbetween who would be willing to take this job on with me basically apprenticing. Obviously I'm willing to pay a fair price and I could just get a workshop to do the work but I'm unlikely to learn half as much.

Well just putting it out there. Uni break is the week from April 24 to 29

Thanks
