anybody need help with their 86?

Anyone need help over the long winter with their 86?
I will come help out if you want a newbie to give you an extra hand.
I just want to learn some basic mechanic skills since I almosted killed myself with the car falling near me, and I even got shock by the battery today.

So if you need a hand with ripping apart your car, body work, and engine, electronic work, give me a holla HOMIES

Peace Yo Yo YO!

Arthur

Yeah, I had a cheap Jack with a small pad, and I jacked the wrong spot under the car. The jack slipped and fell.

.

Randy,

I was planning to remove the bumpers and fix those rusts near the rears of the car. I have jacks, forgot to use them

So, anyone need a helping hand? I promise I won't get you injured during the process.
