Central Massachusetts/N.E. help wanted!

I need help.

I'm in Central Massachusetts.

I've just learned that I may be losing my storage place & work area for my car within the next year or two.

This means that I either need help finishing my project or I need a place to finish it.

Since I'm on a budget (aren't we all?) I can't afford too much to pay for storing it someplace, but if I had help from someone(s) that knew a thing or two about Volvo that could help me, I could finish before it's too late.

Here's the situation:

It's a 1980 242, I've so far upgraded the front suspension & brakes. Started on the lights, and the interior. I've done about 90% of the body work fixing rust & whatnot.

I've still got the engine work to do, conversion to a manual shift, and installing an aftermarket FI, rear suspension including a 4.1:1 posi rear end and other goodies.

I have all or nearly all the parts, just not the time to do it nor the help to get the work done.

If there's anyone out there with one or more weekend days available, perhaps we could combine our talents & resources to fix & finish our collective cars.

Not too far from Worcester IF I have to move it all, unless one can come here.

So, if there's anyone out there who'd want to help out, PLEASE email me. I'm becoming desperate and no one I know is interested in wrench twisting.
