Auckland

Hi Peoples .

Im a 57 year old with share care of my 9 year old boy .

Needing to rebuild an engine to keep my 29 year old car alive melted piston.

Any help we will be grateful for any excess will be shared to another in need.

Will share the process as we go

Roof food and bills take everything.

Im already at the 2k pricing mark just in parts without machine work on a single piston replacement.

Had this car nearly 8 years .

My boy and myself love this car

REALLY needing help to keep it alive.

Struggling dad begging for help .

Normally would stand in my own 2 feet .

But I need help this time so reaching out to any car fans that would help a struggling dad

I will be doing the work myself to saving the labour which saves 3500$ labour

Car is only 1 of 1200 made 1997 ,series 2 5 ,gtsts sedan , factory mspec sedan.

I know im asking a lot .but it will just sit, so if you can help another car guy out thats struggling, it would mean the world to both of us

Aiming for 2500$ that will get it running 5k proper rebuild anything helps

I supported others so hope it comes back .

So if you can please do anything helps.

Will Instagram update all progress and tiktok and here once work starts so you can keep up with it.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
