Who can WELD in SoCal? Lend a helping hand?? PLEASE?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have a dilemma...

Trying to get the FD to SS8 - or just running in general, hah.. but my shop hookup over here is goign to Arizona on Friday to race... so I can't get it done.

Basically.. the turbo I am getting has a 3.5" V-band. My downpipe is a 4" pipe with V-band. I bought a SS reducer from burns and it goes from 4" to 3.5" - the turbo has the v-band flanges included but I need to cut the 4" flange, and then weld the reducer and the 3.5" flange to the downpipe. Then I can hookup my turbo.

If anyone in Socal has time on Friday afternoon to do this... that would help me out a shitload. I'll pay whatever you think it's worth (within reason) - you'd be doing me a hugeeee *** favor.

Let me know asap.

Thanks
-Darren-

Oh FD is my DD - woman starts new job on Saturday. If I don't get'r running, looks like I'll be taking the bus..... seriously, lol.

Dave, this thread is calling you to test out that new welder of yours on a unsuspecting person

If this is all off car at the moment why not go to a exhaust shop and have them do it? quick and most likely a reasonable cost

Cause my TUrbo doesn't get here until Friday afternoon - and it has the flanges with it. So I can't take it in until around 4-5pm on Friday - most places close at 6pm so I'm screwed on that route.
