need some help finishing my 6 bolt.

[UNDISPUTEDDSM]

What's up everyone. I'm in need of some help if I ever plan on getting my car running. I have a 2g, that I did a 6 bolt swap on. I must admit that between moving and other personal matters I kinda stopped trying to finish my project. I finally decided to get her done before my newest member of my family got here. I got close.. Got the motor in and everything, tried to start it, and bent a valve because of I accidently used the wrong tensioner arm. Replaced that, but forgot to replaced the streched belt, so it happened again... Of course it would. Well during that time we were preparing for our daughters arrival, and now she's actually here, which of course translates to absolutly no time for my dsm.... So now the reason for the story.. I'm hoping I can find someone local to me, or close enough, where I can take my dsm to get finished. I'm in Naples, Florida (South Florida) and I don't feel comfortable letting these local shops do the work. I do have a buddy with a towing company that can give me a lift so long as its not to far. Basically the car just needs to have the T-belt replaced and reinstalled, and also have various small oil leaks, maybe boost leaks, just normal things when you install a fresh motor. Just feel free to ask any questions, and please let me know of anyone you guys might have in mind. Thanks

P.S.. Preferably would like someone with dsm experience

if its just a timing belt, why dont you take out 1 day, or a few hours and do it your self. Get it running, and use a boost leak tester, or spray soapy watering around all the couplers and gaskets and what not. If your that close to being done, mind as well finish it. you have all easy stuff left. and you should have done a brand new timing belt when you built the motor...

I know I should just finish it myself, its so much easier said then done with a newborn in the house. If I'm not feeding her, I'm changing her diaper, if I'm not changing her diaper I'm cleaning bottles and doing her laundry. Not to mention I work 6 days a week, and atleast 8 hours each day. Its just very difficult at this time to finish the car. I'm sure that eventually, she'll sleep more and I'll have more time to finish the car, but I'm sure it'll still be difficult for me considering how much I work. I just see this becoming lingering issue, and would rather get her done by someone so I can drive it already... Initially it was a new belt, I just forgot to replace it once it streched. One of the leaks happens to be what I think is the front seal, so its not just as simple as changing the timing belt and being done. I know there are members in my area, I know of one by the name of george that literally lives minutes away, I just lost his number and don't know his address. Any help will be appreciated.
