Arrow Want to rent a garage in/near NJ for a C5 clutch job

I need to change the clutch in my c5. I can do the work myself, and I have all the tools, but my garage is very tight. Does anyone have a decent sized garage (or driveway) where I can do the job. I'm at about $1000 in parts for the job, so I can't afford $600+ for the install at a shop.

If anyone has the space, and wants to make a some $$$, let me know. Thanks.

My name is Jesse. You can text me @ 973-489-6827.

Probably a weekend. Shops charge for about 6 to 8 hours of labor. I'm figuring about 10 hours since it would be my first time doing a clutch job on a C5.

Thanks. I'm still in the process of sourcing parts, and when I get them, I have to balance the FW and PP, so I figure it will probably be another 3 weeks or so until I'm ready to do the job.
