Hey guys, my name is Justin and I'm new to the forum. I found a guy that lives near me that has a factory five kit with an svo crate motor that's nearly complete. All it lacks is paint/prep, coolant lines, fuel lines, steering needs to be adjusted, and the brakes need to be hooked up. The guy gave me a price I couldn't refuse, but I don't really have the room for the car at my house, so instead of completing it myself I need to find a shop to get it done as fast as possible. Any suggestions on shops in the austin area? I live near marble falls. Thanks for your help! Hope to see everyone at the next meet.
