Default Asking for a huge favor

I know none of you know who I am, (my name is Mike, sup) but I figure I'd give this a shot anyway. I've got a BBK sitting in my living room staring at me. I don't have a garage and it's been years since I've done any real work on a car. I'd love to have a hand in putting it on myself so I don't want to just take the car to a shop. I know it's a lot, asking for a whole afternoon of someone's time, effort and garage space but I guess that's exactly what I'm looking for. I am definitely willing to compensate, either financially or otherwise. If by chance in the next few weeks someone is interested, let me know. Even if this is a ridiculous request, it'd be nice to at least get to know some more car people.

It's not hard to do at all -- I put mine on about 18 months ago and just barely ordered the rear bbk to go with it -- I kept burning up the rear pads. I think it took me about 4 hours to put them on. I have a StopTech set up front. The only harder thing was cutting the watershields off.

PM me if you're really stuck.

I'm on 13" fronts. I wanted the option to run 17" race rims. The performance diff between the two is fairly negligible. But since having the front BBK on, I go through a set of rear pads in a day and a half of track work. In contrast to that, I still have a bunch left on my fronts after 5 track days. :/
