Okay! I'm tentatively scheduled to pick the car up next Wednesday (pending confirmation from the shipper guy) at the Balt-DC auto auction.
So I need help with two things:
1) A ride from DC (metro station of your choice) to the auto auction. I've got tow service if it breaks down, so no need to follow me anywhere.
2) I need to figure out where I'm getting the engine swap done. Since it doesn't seem that there is enough interest in renting warehouse space right now, I have a couple options. First is find a self-storage place willing to let me work on the car in the unit. If any of you have done this before and know of a place then let me know. Second idea is to find a shop willing to rent me a bay. So send me the names of any local shops you have used in the past and I will call them and see what they say. Third option is to pay a shop to do the swap. I'm going to farm out the wiring to Dr. Tweak, so it should be a pretty basic "remove engine, put engine back in" swap. But it would help if the shop in question had some experience with Toyotas.
Thanks guys!!
