MMMkay, so who has a heated garage, jacks, and good arms for some work?

Im just about quote unquote "100%" from my injury, so its time to get crackin on my car problems. I ordered a la TSP Catted Y-pipe, new rear sensors (since my old ones had thick tarlike substance on them, new oil dipstick since mine got bent trying to remove for headers).... and cheapo bilstein HD shocks to compliment the SLP Takeoff spings I have so Im not grinding my cats down the road (plus, i bottom out getting in and out of my driveway, as well as many other driveways, even the russian's and his driveway is flat hahahahahaha)... as well as a cpl other small things which i can do on my own... but Im gonna need a hand with some of this stuff, cuz I cant put too much strength into yanking the ORY off cuz the way I have to grip + yank the pipe, its "stressing" the tendons too much and they can very well "snap" (Leave the masterbation jokes at home )

So, Im looking for help. I have a heated garage, but its full... plus, not too much room to work in there... and my driveway is somewhat large rocks. I dont plan on doing the springs/shocks til later, whenever Paul wants to take them off my hands and mate them together. I will gladly bring choice of "softdrink" aka pepsi/coke/w.e and/or "beer" which I have many many brands from my christmas tips =) I will also buy foodage, pizza, out to a diner, w/e ... i cant do this stuff by myself unfortunately, and my car is on the verge of taking a massive dump. I wanna get this stuff squared away so I am able to take it to shops, since they wont touch my car cuz of its lack of cats... maybe next weekend or the one after??? i dunno :-\

Thanks to everyone and anyone that wishes to help

Wait, didn't you say you had internal engine issues? Or am I mixing your car up with someone elses?

Ya, I do... re-read... most shops around here wont touch my car cuz it doesnt have cats... thats why I need help putting the catted y pipe on, so I can take it to shops to have the problem fixed.

Oh, that makes sense. I forgot you were having trouble with shops. I just remembered you having engine woes, so I couldn't figure this out.

Hey, my barn will be completed this week with electricity, and potentially will have the lift here next week, heat will be supplied once i fix the burner we got today, so if you want we can do it down here.

Do you have a location for doing this yet? I have a garage, ramps and jackstands but it's not heated. Do you have a picture of the catted y-pipe so we have an idea of what's going to be needed?

I have everything needed... its a TSP catted Ypipe ... only small modification im gonna have to do is flip the fuel line bracket alongside the driveshaft so the cat doesnt heat the fuel up, which is pretty much standard for this y-pipe.
