go on craigslist and look for a garage to rent for a month.
it's going to be snowing and even i wont do a swap in the snow for fun, or free.

yup but not everyone is motivated by money. if someone asked me to help them out in a time of need i would.
but i guess some people just want money

I think the biting cold of 30 degree metal parts will drive helpers away more than a a lack of payment.
You'll need a space that the whole car can be brought to room temp and kept there for the duration of the operation. Cold makes working on a car just plain suck.

Not only do cold tools suck, but cold metal/plastic/bolts will break easily. Car neeeds to be room temp for me to even touch it. Truth sucks sometimes but when you're seeking free help you need to make an attractive offer! Just my two cents.

problem is the car needs to sit at about 65deg for at least a few days for everything to warm up.
