Denver 850 - have tools, need/give occasional help

middlebay · Post by **middlebay** » 25 Jul 2013, 06:07

Hey guys,

I just moved to Denver and drive a 96 850t. I have a few specialty tools that may be of use to someone (IPD timing belt change items) that rarely get used. I have done a few repairs to mine (timing belt being the biggest), changed rear suspension, replaced headliner, replaced heater core, ABS module repairs etc... I also have some experience procuring used body parts and installing such like broken mirrors, headlights, etc..

I'm not sure what time I will have as I just started a new job, but I'd be glad to loan out these specialty tools- and I also have an inexpensive OBD II reader. I brought a manual transmission and all extras with me, so if anyone is interested in performing/watching/witnessing a miracle and have the garage space for it- lets talk. I don't have any garage space, but I'm also not in any hurry to do the swap- but if someone has the resources and was just curious what it looked like/ involved in doing the swap we could practice on mine before you do yours. I was thinking of waiting until after the snow melts before I part with the autotragic.

Middlebay, thanks for posting. Thinair and I are close by each other, and plan to do some Stage 0 type work soon. Neither of us has a garage either

. But it's summer, so...

PM me and let's swap numbers.

Hey there,

Being as we both live in Denver I would love to sit in on your engine swap. This is way above my head, but I will gladly lend a hand for the experience!
