Anyone near Santa Cruz able to do a rebuild?

I'm interested in helping btw. I need either someone with the space, time & niceness, or a shop to just do it all.

I got too tiny of space & none of the tools to do it.

So if you know a shop or you can do it, hit me up I'm going to need this done once i get teh cash.

Also anyone know a est of how much a rebuild for Coolent & Oil seals costs? I'm sure the apex are fine, only 76K miles. Also might as well do a tranny swap around the same time.

Here's a couple more:

PR Motorsports http://www.prmotorsports.com/

Both have good reps in the Bay Area.

sorry Nate, completely forgot. Kevin is also around too from time to time.

it's about 3 hours to my shop with light traffic, a bit far.. next opening is probably about a month away for a rebuild.

What does it usually toll up to?

Since its just Coolen & Oil should I also have the apex changed?
