#1 Just finishing going through my parents' house and have some old items that we need to have a good antique appraiser look at. Having never done this before. Would like to find someone reputable and preferably local.
#2 Need to find someone who knows Volkswagen engines. I screwed up a repair (broke off the mounting bolt for the water pump drive gear on the end of the intake side balance shaft 2.0t engine) and need someone to give me some advice on the direction I need to go to finish the repair. Least labor intensive and least impact on the bank account.
Thanks for any help in advance.
I can't be of much help but I know Cowboypirate has some experience selling antiques on ebay, so he might be able to help depending on what it is but if I remember correctly he mainly dealt with fishing gear.
As far as the VW engine, you will likely need to contact a mechanic but I believe it could be drilled out and tapped.
Good luck
