Wrenches in DFW
« on: February 17, 2015, 08:52:54 PM »
I just inherited a 1978 Wagon in great shape with 43k original miles. I would like to get a lot of items replaced and make it a daily driver.  I'm hoping someone in the DFW area would be willing to make a little $$ on the side.  I know I can take to a local shop, but I would rather someone who knows these cars do the work.  I purchased a service manual for it, and I have most of the tools I need to do it myself.  The truth is I travel a lot for work and just don't have the time or patience to do it myself.
Thank you for the suggestions and help

BEWARE of the craigslist backyard mechanic. You wouldn't believe how much work we get fixing their work.

Birdiegolf8:

  I'm just Northeast of Dallas in the suburbs, working on a full restoration of a '76 wagon, and I have a buddy who has an original '78 trunk that he drives daily, and his Mom bought brand new back in the day. Send me a note - maybe we can all hook up!

thanks for the advice.  I'm currently having it evaluated by a very respected mechanic but he is retired now and I'm just not sure he is up for the work.
