As an update ::

I've had my car fully reprinted and purchased a repalcement A+ 998
That has been tested by Matt Reid and seems fine

I have put back most of the cosmetic stuff back on the car such as
Lights , rubbers windows etc

But I Definetly can't do the following
From a lack of Tools Time and Talent

: put the new engine in
: Hook up electrics ( especially in the dash )
: need HiLos fitted
: other mechanical stuff

Basically all the mechanicals and electrics - Can't Do
Interior refit , cosmetics etc - Can do

Questions:

Is there anyone in brisbane will to do this part for me
For a free , beers or a fee

Please let me know ASAP as I don't want the car sitting around for much longer
I am located on the south side of Bris
Can send pics of everything as it is at the moment

Sounds like you want to put on a "workshop party". Get set up for a BBQ and drinks and put an open invite out to anyone that can help on a agreed day to fit the engine, suspension, and hook up the electrics.
You should end up with a few guys that know what their doing, so long as you have a decent area/space to work in you should get pretty much everything done. Oh and also let people know if you need them to bring tools and equipment.

Take it to Glen Carpenter's Mini Mart on Blunder Rd, Oxley. He'll give you what you need.

Kennomini has a good idea if you want to save money.
Set up a day with a feed and drinks and see who can help out.

If the motor was tested by Matt Reid, did you ask him to do the above things? He is more than capable
