Where are you at in SoCal? We occasionaly have mod day's, although we havn't had one in a while. Still if you needed some help with the X I know I would be willing to help you out, I'm not a wrench head, and have just started working on my X but I've done some work on my samurai as well as my girlfriends car.

All it takes is one post and I'm sure some one in your area will be willing to help, heck I know I'd come help if you're near Santa Barbara.
