if you're going to do that, u better tel your friends and family you wont be speaking to them this weekend. get a friend or 2 to help, and be patient. highly doubt you'll be done in one weekend

dude I wouldnt trust 6 people to work on my car at the same time, I would be afraid they would screw it up so many people doing different things. JMO

Exactly, when I work on my car it is either by myself or with a friend, anymore than that and people get in the way. Also it is possible to do in a weekend if you have done it before, I have a feeling in order for you get all that done you are going to have to work from sun up to sun down. The chances for a mistake increases when you rush a job of this magnatude.

Good Luck

Re: doing mods this weekend would like some tips/pointers

when your headers go in there are some wires that run down the pass. side inner fender... These wires need to be disconnected, extended, and rerouted away from the header. Buy some good quality heat tape and tape off your heater box & fuel lines under the car also.
