        Can anyone recommend someone in the seattle area that can either help with the wiring conversion needed for a 2.7i build or someone who will do the necessary wiring work for a good price?

          Hey, I'm the guy who created that CL add. I know my prices are cheap, but its not because I do bad work, Its because I want people to give me a try and then tell their friends. I'm positive about my work and stand behind it.

            Have you tried the guys at Fine Tuning in N. Seattle? My buddy who owns a VR6 Jetta has his work done there and says nothing but good things about them. Not sure if they work on E30's but it might be worth a shot. Good luck!
            Screw that place, had him try to fix my wife's new beetle a few years ago and the whole experience was a nightmare.

                    Is he on the forums? Im really looking for someone that can either lend me a hand with altering the harness, or someone I can pay to do it.

                          Mark Lovitt has done e30 work for years and seems to be well-liked by the Pro3 crowd.
                          He did subframe, trailing-arm, and diff bushings, stainless brake lines, and tranny and diff fluids, all in a long day for $550. The subframe was a pain in the ass to get off, and I was happy to pay him to do it. Oh, and he welded my sway bar mounts back on the trailing arms while he was at it... for free.
                          He lives in Canyon Park (Bothell) and works out of a shop right next door. Great guy who does great work. Does weekend work as well, so it's easy to get work done on your daily if you don't have an extra car.
