i wanna get something installed....just havent decided what yet...
maybe i'll just come by to get advice on what i should do next....then i can install something next time...
Betty, what exactly do you need done? I am doing my brakes this weekend? If you wanna come over and hang out, I can assist. Its forecasted for serious snow though :( and my garage is detached from the house. So it'll be kinda cold to hang out outside.
If anyone wants to sponsor a 2-car garage, I'll be happy to help you out. Just let me know.
Actually I might go home and do my brakes tonight and beat the snow.

Yeah we can still do this at my house.
rich can come and fix murfy. it is a 2 car garage and plenty of space to work in.
there are plenty of tools in the basement but if anyone can bring the tools needed that will be great.
lets shoot for next saturday or next sunday. feb 17 or feb 18.
the earlier the better.
adress again:
102 spring st.
passaic nJ 07055
directions from NY:
after you cross the GWB take RT 80 to exit 59 where you can take rt 20 south witch turns into rt 21. my house is right of of exit 10 on rt 21. it is very simple.
usually it takes me 10-15 minutes to get home from the GWB.
as soon as we can agree on a actual date,we can start a roll call for the following:
*who is comming to hang
*who needs something installed
*who can help

you don't need a machine shop just a couple 10mm wrenches and someone to pump the brakes.
I just changed my front brake pads in under 20mins. It was easier than I remember.
Now I need to take the car out for a drive. maybe I will flush the brake system and refill with new fluid.
