Wrench Session north of Dallas? SOS!

Anyone up for a wrench session? Here is the list (From back to front):

Fuel pump
Lowering blocks
Chip
ABS removal
Battery relocation
Coilover install
turbo swap
A2A intake
and lastly, water pump.
while we're in there, new plugs I guess :)

I have a huge garage (no lifts, it'll be jack stands and jacks) all the needed tools.
All the beer, booze & food you can eat & drink, free place to stay...literally a two bedroom house next door you can stay in if needed/wanted.
Food, billiards, fishing....

it is about an 1.5 hour drive north of Dallas in Pottsboro, TX on lake Texoma.
I'm getting desperate, so I may even pay for gas!

My calendar is VERY free, so I'm open to suggestions. Any day(s) in January.
(The garage will be heated)

Thanks!
Michael

Re: Wrench Session north of Dallas? SOS!

really?

24 hours, 28 views and no one wants free booze?

I'm a little out of my league on some of the mods, so I could really use some help....

Its just after XMAS and we all have presents to put on the truck.
It is also too cold outside. Currently 4 degrees outside, 17 in the garage.
I'm ready for spring.

Cold, yes. Heated Garage, yes. It is going to be in the high 40's-mid 50's next week and beyond here. The garage will be about 20 degrees warmer.

It's in the country enough that the directions become:

A. Go to the Mobile station and I'll meet you
or
B. Turn left at the oak tree.

A BIG BIG thank you to Aj and Darren (1madgumby and DB239)

We got the turbo and accessories installed, and 8 minutes before we had to go the airport we turned the key. . .

. . .

after only a few turns, the Typhoon fired up. --this pleased the Mrs!

I have some of the finishing touches to take care of in the next few days (un-rigging the battery:lol: and getting the cobra on. Got the datamaster to run correctly, so I should have some info tomorrow or wednesday.

I'll get some pics up in the coming days. Had to have some quality time with my wife (who was rather unhappy about the whole "work on the truck"idea....Which is kinda odd, considering that it was her idea in the first place!

O & don't for get to make sure that lock ring on top of the tank is in the right place otherwise might have A huge fuel leak. Keep us all posted.
