    Los Angeles Help

    Long story short, I almost got ticketed/towed/evicted from apartment complex for working on my car in the parking lot. Apparently Hitler runs the complex. :hitler:

    Anyone out there (in West LA hopefully) want to help a guy out with some work that I need to do! I gots no wheres to go...

    If you think you might be up for the challenge pm me...otherwise snicker in silence on the other end of the keyboard.

      I did a timing belt in the parking lot of college dorms, I told the security guards I was just checking the oil and it requires special tools on a bmw.

        Well...I began and got interrupted even making dumbass excuses haha

        I got a nice list going which consists of...

        Timing belt
        Tensioner
        Thermostat
        Fan Clutch
        Water Pump
        Motor/Tranny Mounts
        E36 steering rack swap
        CSB/GuiboZ4 2.5 shifter and bushings
        and I believe that's it....long list i know

        I had wheels of and was taking off old steering rack when I was stopped last time and had to put it back together...fuckers :tsk:

        The coolant stuff is in the mail...but I have all other goodies sitting in my place. Everything I have to do requires me jacking up the car and getting dirty which this damn place doesn't tolerate.

        Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated

                  which part of LA?

                  I can offer up my garage when I return from Seattle.

                  You just gotta drive all the way here.

                  I live in 92648

                        I tried doing it at this house except I/they don' have a plethora of tools
