I think I PMed you about this, but I just don't feel comfortable with anyone "FULLY" underneath the car in close quarters on jacks or jack stands. It'd be different if we could pull it over an underground bay or had a commercial lift to use. I know I'm probably being too worried about the jacks/stands, but I just don't like it. I mean if like 1/4 or 1/2 of you could be sticking out from underneath while working instead of your whole body that might be better and of course have me there to help/watch for safety.
I seriously appreciate your offers to help and we are gonna wrench eventually. I just needed to get a lot of things out of the way "for me" first.
Also, I just did exhaust work on my van and now having experienced it I don't believe the exhaust on my car is gonna cooperate well unless we have use of a torch. I personally don't have a torch nor do I have technique in using it.
Got a torch and experience? Got use of a commercial lift somewhere? Then I'll be all about it.
My trusted shop will charge something like mid 300-something.
