V / B Code Swap Help Needed in Austin-Houston Area

Greetings,

I am hopeful that someone with the tools, prior V/B Code swap experience, and the space to perform the swap is willing to perform the surgery on my 2001 PSD. I will be ordering new springs and other parts so as not to have to deal with rusted-out parts.

This is not an offer of beer and pizza for your help, but I will compen$ate you for getting the swap done right. I of course will help unless like the mechanic's shop sign says, Labor Rate $95/hr, if you help $125/hr will not work for you !

Thanks !

I'm out in Spring just north of Houston and know someone by the name of Krazee Matt who has done the swap in his driveway.

I may not be able to assist, but I'll see if Matt is able to help.

Nvm you're too new for PM's lol. Hey bud, whereabouts are you? I'm south Houston but don't mind traveling to lend a hand. Pay the fuel for the trip and we're square, not one for charging people that're into the same hobby for help it don't sit right. I'm out of town til Tuesday btw. Do everyone a favor and start soaking all the existing hardware in PB Blaster - it'll make life WAY easier Hit me up tomorrow.

Should set a date and make this a proper little impromptu Houston get together. Be nice to meet more Houstonians who have Excursions.

I'm completely down for this. I know the OP is out of town for a month or so, once he's back I'll see if we can nail down a date or something.

Razzi, if you're watching this what do you think for a central meet up? We do need to be able to do the spring swap as well.

This has been a topic of discussion that's been raised to me a lot lately, so it looks like I'll be planning something between mid November and early December if that's cool with everyone....?

Thread forthcoming..
