I'm on my knees begging for your help....

I've got this Saturday 17th till next Sunday 25th booked off for my engine conversion.

Me and mike are working on it tuesday till thursday as this is the only time when he can get time off work, but ive got the whole week off, does anyone else fancy coming and giving me a hand, ive no idea what to do so any help is greatly apprechiated.
I've got the car booked into powerflow exhaust place for full Stainless Steel from downpipe back on friday so would be helpful for it to be done by then.
Im in Sheffield S17 3QD(not my real post code but nearish, will pm you real post code if you do want to help)

You get lots of drink(alcohol or non-alcholic) and food.

I have a 2ltr 8v Cav SRi sat in my drive and my nova, got all parts i need, apart from fuel tank+pump and driveshafts which im still trying to get hold of.

If anyone would like ot lend me a hand i'd be greatful forever!

Thanks alot novaload people,

from one begging neil.

ive done both my engine swaps in a weekend, so allowing for the third day we will do it no problem. have faith neil!

only thing i havent attempted before is cracking the cv joints apart for the new cv joints.

shouldnt take long i expect.
