 Out with the old...In with the nucleus

Today i recived some news from the radiator place that would make most people very sad/angry. There is a small hole in one of the water jackets in the side of my motor and this is causing it to leak coolant, and to make matters worse my head is totally fucked, it has failed a Co2 test which means that exhuast gasses are getting into the coolant which essentially means my head is royally fucked.
This is bad yes?
NO
See my car is under warranty from the importer/wrecker i purchased my car from, upon delivering him the bad news i asked "what options do I have?" he told me that i can either put in another 1GGTE or one with a 5 Speed, or i could just be done with it and do the 1JZ conversion, naturally my eyes lit up when i heard that word but then my wallet started to cry when i thought of the costs involved, just out of curiosity i asked how much it was gonna cost, he told me that the motor would be a $300 difference in price, the labour would be free becuase mine would have to come out anyway and the only other thing I would have to pay for will be to have the tailshaft shortened, my exhasut modified and the wiring.
All up inbetween $1200-$1000
not bad for a full 1JZ conversion 
Right now I have a smile from ear to ear and I dont think it could be wiped off with a brick.
What i actually wanted to know, does anyone know of a decent person to get wiring done becuase i reckon i might be able to get it done a bit cheaper, dont say fours and more becuase i have already tried them

yeah but you gotta wonder what kind of workshop that place is given the condition of your car when you got it. Where did you get it from btw?

Really I dont give a fuck becuase i get another three months warranty on the new engine and box, so if that is fuckend then i will just keep getting new ones.
But this motor was a bit of a fucker and ive seen the 1JZ's he gets in and they are pretty farken decent.

Sideshow is the man for wiring. Ask him if he's doing a trip to Adelaide any time soon.

You'd have to be a harsh cnut to tell someone what he told you and then back out of it. You'll never be satisfied with a 1G now... It will either work out or it will be a case of the "what might have beens".

i dont think they sound dodgy, i think they sound very reasonable. you cant say they are bad cause they gave him a bad engine, how were they to know? the car was probably run without coolant its whole life then they put coolant in it and cleaned it up at the auctions. its hard to know some things without stripping the engine down.
