Title: Lamborghini Rebody Engine Transplant
Post by: Fierofool on May 22, 2020, 05:26:11 pm
There is a man who has bought a Lamborghini Rebody that's being shipped from California.  It has a 2.8 in it at the moment but I think he said he has a crate Z06 engine he wants installed in it, plus an upgrade on a manual transmission.  He's looking for someone to do the transplant.  Does anyone know of anyone in the Georgia area that might be willing to do the job? 

He previously had a rebody that was at Whodeanies, but it went bye-bye.  I think it was an AD355 or another Ferrari model.  I remember seeing it at the Canton location.  Dark Gray primer.

 There have been 2 posts lately looking for someone to build a Fiero for them. Sounds like a business opportunity or at least some extra money in the pocket. Some of the younger guys around that have been furloughed or laid off lately should look around for a place to do some work........

I'm trying to hire some help. Problem is, very few people can do the things I do here: Fiberglass work, custom paint, welding/fabrication, engine swaps, mechanical repairs/upgrades, etc..
Plus I don't usually work normal hours. Most of the time in the summer I work nights to avoid the heat. But if I could find good help I could adjust my hours to their schedule.
I have two guys that have been waiting for me to get caught up to do work on their car for over a year (don't know if they still need it). Plus two guys that want Meras painted as soon as I'm available.
Current work includes the full custom/engine swap Fiero, Mera paintjob, & a tube frame/fiberglass bodied/motorcycle (Hyabusi?) engined Fiat 850 Spyder.
Meanwhile my brand new tube frame for Annie (the yellow baja) has been sitting out in the weather rusting for two years.  :'(
