You’re in luck, cause I freed up some room to do more work. I will take on just about any job from head gaskets, timing belts, to a simple brake job. I do better than dealer quality work at much cheaper prices. I can usually get insane prices on OEM parts for MOST vehicles. PM with your needs. I can provide references easily. Anyone who i’ve done work for on here please feel free to post your experiences, good or bad! :thumbup ---

The manual conversion may be doable. Do you have more info on it? ---

manual conversion is very very doable. I will hopefully be doing it. I just dont havea garage or lift which would make life more simple. Steps: -pull drive shaft -pull automatic tranny -enlarge shifter hole in trans tunnel -punch out hole in fire wall for master cylinder -bolt on master cylinder -bolt on adapter plate, clutch, flywheel, hydraulic throwout bearing -bolt on transmission -take driveshaft apart bolt sc300 front hlaf to sc400 rear half of drive shaft -figure out VSS, tachometer and wire resistors for all now nonused automatic transmission sensors, relocate sensors to inside dash -pray no CELs -??? -Profit ---

Wayne has helped me out with a pretty large job… Basically: - Pulling rear subframe / trailing arms from 325i as an entire unit - Cleaning/Prepping underbody to accept reinforcement welding - Performing reinforcement welding in four spots - Help in assembling new subframe parts - Reinstalling new subframe / trailing arms into car He was also quick to put stuff together and needed barely a glance at the information / manuals I brought with me to be able to do stuff correctly, the FIRST time. Yet he wasn’t overconfident and took time to research stuff that I sent him beforehand since the job was such a big one. One example I can give is the damn emergency brake assembly on the 325i, necessary to reroute the line when you replace trailing arms as I did… So you have to make the brake shoe / adjuster / pivot assembly in the limited space behind the installed hub. This is a PITA in terms of access and I’ve read multiple [BF.com](http://BF.com) posts on how if you’re doing it for the first time with hub installed it takes a while. Without really looking at the diagram and not having worked in this particular car in the past, Wayne intuitively assembled the pieces and had his side done in like 10 minutes while I was still scratching my nutz and holding the e-brake cable on my side of the car. After a very long (12+ hr) day, Wayne took the time to perform multiple test drives to check everything out twice and even diagnosed other “issues” on the car (couple loose bolts, left tie rod needing replacing, worn tires on inner edge) without me asking. Most people would just rush the $hit since they want you out the door after working until midnight, but he wanted it done right, probably even more so than I did at that point. Extra bonus was that I learned some new hooks to country songs.
