Anyone in wellington do Engine replacements?

Hey guys.

Bought this beautiful mx-5 this weekend but its done too many km and the gearbox is sharting itself.

Looking to pay someone to take an engine and gearbox out of a miata, and put the donor engine and gearbox replacement in.

Does anyone do this in welly?

I don't know anyone in Wellington, but they are fairly simple to do if you have a garage/workshop.
I have done 6 now. The longest part is undoing all of the sensors! I would pull the motor and box out as one unit instead of separating while still in the car.
