expert help needed (my first post)

thanks, whats tough is every machine shop is taken, i am coming from raleigh, and ever machine shop around is 6 months out and even after finding a shop to do it, i was quoted 5k+ for the full rebuild, just pistons being 800. i want to sell this car for a flip so i can move on to my next one but thats seeming different with these prices. its also hard because i have no one to help me as my family isent into working on cars to this extent. thanks for all the advice.
