Im around danbury, Ct... Im no mechanic and I do not know of one in the area... I go to either KDR in PA or PFS in MD. Seach the FAQs about what you should look for when buying one. Get it compression tested, etc...

Zak,
I'm up at Lime Rock all the time. I have a door, not perfect but I'll take whatever you want to give me for it and Ill bring it up if you can wait for my next trip. I also have a Mazda compression checker $20 to test a car. I'm going to try to get to most of the meets this summer also.

hey i really appreciate all the help, i figure heck if i need help if i dont have much cash, i can supply with enough alcohol that anyone will forget about money , i have minimal car knowledge, and just helping would help me learn so much more!

Thanks again everyone!
