CO Southern Colorado Springs full engine Rebuild

Looking for some people who want to either "learn the hard way" with me, or come help a newbie out.

I will be pulling, and rebuilding my '88 Convertible's 13b. Replacing all the seals, and building it back to as close to new OEM as possible. I know this is not a 1-man job, so I wanted to gauge interest in who would like to participate, and either help by teaching me the ins-and-outs, or anyone else who, like me, has never done it before.

Depending on who is interested, we will work it out amongst us which days/nights are best for everyone, and which beer goes best with an engine rebuild !

I live in the South Colorado Springs area, in Widefield, in the vicinity of the Fort Carson South Gate.

Let me know who would like to join me !

To let everyone know, I am not starting this right away. No parts have yet been ordered. I wanted to gauge interest first. I will most likely be starting in early/mid September.

Also, if anyone really wanted to be enterprising, we could make an event/workshop out of this. I already have another '88 vert that is my daily driver, so this rebuild is not being rushed at all, and will be done as people's schedules allow.
