I need a good 4th Gen mechanic in the St. Cloud, MN Area - can anyone help me out?

I'm trying to find someone who can take my car for a day or two and fix a lot of little things that I've been meaning to get around to. I am wary to take it to a 'real' mechanic just because I love my car so much, I want someone who's worked on 4th gens to help. Or at least a mechanic recommended by the community.

I need the following little things done:
-"Universal" Antenna installed (jury rigged) into place
-Front speakers have somehow become disconnected, I need them reconnected
-Steering is very loose, whatever needs checking there
-Needs some intake part (maybe a new intake), you can really hear the airflow when speeding up
-Left front wheel has dust plate rubbing against wheel, needs to be taken out and hammered out
-If possible, I would like the rear speaker area re-done with some fresh steel, the previous owner really ****ed it up, it really needs like a 12x8" area totally cut out, and a new 'homemade' speaker mounting place to be made. Might not be possible.

Is there anyone that can help me out? I'll probably just give it out to the lowest bidder. I've come to the conclusion that there's no way I'll get to it with my schedule.

well first off you should be posting in the minnesota forums(upper midwest). not in the 4th gen forums

If your willing to drive i live out in the north metro and am somewhat mechanically inclined. But of course i would expect some kind of compensation

As he said, you need to post in regional, not the main 4th gen section. This is why regional exists.

Errm...sorry for putting it in the wrong section can someone move it then?

And yeah, of course I would compensate fairly. What else would I have meant by the lowest bidder?

I'm a little surprised actually - I remember seeing a poll a while back showing that like 25% here didn't have a job :S. I didn't want to start throwing out numbers like $200, $300 because I don't know whats fair, you know?
