Re: How difficult - Front suspension rebuild

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob, here you go.--- Auto Fitness Center---6923 Maple (south side of street) 
owner Rob Gordon---shop 402-934-3544---cell 402-350-5668. It is a nice two 
man operation. Be sure to tell him Steve Mick sent you, He and his parents 
are LONG time friends of ours. However, If you have a place your car can sit 
for a few days while you work on it--sounds like you have some very good 
Omaha  help if you do it yourself and you will learn a lot.  I do suggest 
you get aquainted with Rob ---he is a good 
guy.......................MO......sw  iowa

that may be an option.. MO says he knows someone in Omaha.. when MO
sends his name, I'll give him a shot..

there's also a guy in Elkorn NE.. named Frank, I saw a good review under
his phone listing on the web..

If it's around $350 plus parts I could afford to have it done...

$2K just ain't gonna happen.. my wife will see to that ;)
