Anyone in/near Austin,TX with a garage???

[BigheadVelaSVT]

I cant work on cars where I live, so is there anyone in or near Austin, TX with a garage that I could steal for an afternoon?? :help:

I want to rebuild/clean my upper and lower Intake Manifold and try the wiring fix to the alternator for the "Battery Light at high RPM" issue that I've been having lately. I have a jack and basic tools... just nowhere that I can work on the car!

Any help y'all can offer would be greatly appreciated... and rewarded with lots of booze. :laugh:

Thanks.

Psst..

Battery light ON at HIGH rpm is likely because of floating brushes on the alternator itself, not a wiring issue.

The wiring fix is for a battery light that stays on all the time, until high RPM, then goes off.

aaahhhhhh... ok. My bad, I guess read it wrong. Bummer, I guess that means I have to get the Alternator changed out. :nonono:

You're in San Antonio?? The only SVTs around here (Austin) are 'Stangs. I'd really like to meet up with some like-minded folks about CSVTs. Exchange notes, best practices, etc. There any way we can get somethin like that goin? PM me.

Well.. to be EXACT.. yes.. I am in Austin.. well.. west of Austin, through Oak Hill and Dripping Springs, in Blanco.

I don't, technically, live here any more, though. I moved to Louisiana, and just so happen to be here to visit the family and get the rest of our belongings from here.

I will be leaving Friday for Louisiana, but between then and now, I'm here!

Can you tell me where the Austin junkyards are?? I'm looking for a Pass. fender and maybe a spoiler and alternator, depending on what they have.
