    Front end suspension refresh - seeking space!

    So I've got a box full of goodies to install... both front control arms, bushings, sway bar end links, and two tie rods. I don't plan on accomplishing tie rods myself since one of them is seized and won't loosen, but at the very least I need to replace my control arms and bushings since they are shot.

    Does anybody have the space in a garage with jackstands that I could borrow for a little while? Willing to drive up to 8 hours or so from CT, and plan on making it a day trip.

    I plan on bringing a space heater since it's getting quite chilly and the garage probably won't have heat, so an available outlet would also be helpful. Hopefully I can find the darned thing...

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    I have a driveway and tools and knowledge to free that seized tierod. I don't have a garage but you can make it an overnight stay if need be. It is still 60's and sometimes 70's here. My driveway is yours, and I'm pretty good with a wrench....

    Come to Stafford and you've got a place to work/stay. This weekend works but not the first two in Nov.

    BP, my garage is your garage once my car is out of it (partially dismantled at the moment). i've got good workspace, a heater, air tools, etc. but it's likely colder here and it will be a week before my car is out.

    Thanks for all the offers, guys!
    I texted Bruce before I posted on here, since he's the closest to me. I wanted to make sure I had options if Bruce wasn't around.

    It looks like he'll be available the weekend of the 7th-8th, so I think I may go visit him. Thanks again for all the offers, I'll post back up if it doesn't end up happening.
