Default (ratpack) i need help

hey guys...
i need to replace a header gasket but because of some nasty letters i've recieved from my condo association i can no longer do any work here in front of my place... so anybody got some free time and a driveway/garage in exchange for a 12 pack? it should go pretty smoothly... that rear-most header bolt is the main pain.
see ya!

Sonny I have a driveway available. I will probably be working on my vette most of the weekend so if you want you are welcome to change it out here. I live over by stumpy lake in VaBch.

Oh I see how it is. Jack needs some new parts and he is trying to steer that C4 away from VaBch. :jester Sonny if you go to Jacks which is probably better with the lift and the power tools he really does need to be watched very very closely! :jester :jester He is looking for the weather seals that go along the fire wall for the hood so if you go there keep an eye on your weather stripping..... ;)

you guys are ca-raaazy! by the way jack i do have some red interior parts left over from my 90, but i seem to remember that your car is in great shape, so they probably wouldn't be much benefit.

i ordered some of the stage 8 locking header bolts and i hope they will be here by friday or maybe saturday morning. if so, i would definately like to take one of you guys up on the offer.

jack, how much work is it to put on that sway bar that i bought from you? (i know it was a long time ago, but i have never gotten around to putting it on).

:cheers: Pretty simple! I removed both rear wheels to get easier access to the bolts at the bushings on the knuckles.

Spare tire carrier has to come out!

I also dropped the rear exhaust/muffler connections enough to be able to slide the bars in and out over the top of the exhaust.

Other than that, it's easy!
