we are all wimps! we didn't get together because it was gonna rain. it didn't. we should all drive volvo's. lets firm up plans for sat.

Posted by: turboman808 Jun 26 2006, 08:09 AM

Yeah if you guys want to do some wrenching that day that would be cool. Maybe someone with more knowledge then me can test drive my car and make sure it's alright and I ain't gonna kill myself.

Gonna be in Jersey that night so may as well make a day out of it.

Posted by: rmital Jun 26 2006, 08:13 AM

Figured as much....poured like crazy Saturday around by us...no way it would dry out by Sunday.

What time Saturday do we want to get together? Need to post on other wrenching thread too so turboman and others don't miss.

Posted by: rmital Jun 26 2006, 08:17 AM

Leo's always willing to test drive someone else's car.... I sure someone could give you a ride home afterwards.....

Posted by: Leo Imperial Jun 26 2006, 02:51 PM

Ever hear of taking the 3yo for a drive while mommy relaxes and grandma looks after the baby??? That is assuming that the baby is here by then. I'll pass on the 12 is my limit when driving with my son in the car

Posted by: Leo Imperial Jun 26 2006, 02:53 PM

My car seems to be running. How long before yours takes a Keep it up Ray. I'm sure Richie will join in soon enough.

Posted by: tod914 Jun 26 2006, 03:00 PM

Hey guys, never been there... is it broken up by car types when they park or is it 1st come 1st serve type of deal? Be good if we could park in the same general area.

Posted by: turboman808 Jun 26 2006, 03:08 PM

Mines been stowed away since last week after the Porsche dealer meet. Dam weather is not cooperating.

Hopefully by Saturday we will have a little bit of sun.

Posted by: i love porsche Jun 26 2006, 03:55 PM

its a first come first serve deal...they start at 5..usually it gets kinda packed by 6ish..but its a hit or miss thing

whos car are we working on during the day?

ill drive someones car =]

Posted by: nycchef Jun 26 2006, 04:20 PM

if we can get in some wrench time i,ll come out at dawn. we can relocate my fuel pump if no one else has any work that needs to be done. unless ray needs his engine bay sanitized.

Posted by: wit61 Jun 26 2006, 07:20 PM

I'll be out at Indy for the F1 weekend on a guys only trip. Woohoo !! I'll hopefully make the next area gathering...

Posted by: type11969 Jun 27 2006, 06:21 AM

Looks like I will have to wait for next time, although Sat. won't be devoid of 914 time, I will be driving to NE Mass to pick up some seats, door panels, bumper, and rotors to give my project a much needed boost.

Posted by: i love porsche Jun 27 2006, 06:38 AM

ahh..to bad chris, i was looking fowards to seeing your beetle

Posted by: type11969 Jun 27 2006, 07:10 AM

Someday . . . I actually have the sneaking suspicion that my cam is going flat. I'll adjust my valves and 100 miles later they will be .002" looser than what I set them to. But thats a whole other thread.

-Chris

Posted by: nycchef Jun 30 2006, 06:02 AM

Posted by: ptravnic Jun 30 2006, 06:50 AM

I'll be there in spirit...

Richie - got a line on new heat exchangers yet? Your current set is a tetanus shot waiting to happen...

Posted by: nycchef Jun 30 2006, 07:26 AM

Posted by: drewvw Jun 30 2006, 07:30 AM

Posted by: turboman808 Jun 30 2006, 11:06 AM

Hey if any of you are body guys and want to go to town on my fenders be my guest. I want to reshape them and then get them repainted soon.

Also what is the address fo this place? I will definetly be there!!!



Oh and hey don't kaugh at my fender work to much



After the whiskey cafe I am heading to this punk/goth club. If anyone is into college girls with mohawks they are welcome to join me.

Posted by: Leo Imperial Jun 30 2006, 12:08 PM

Well the baby came Tuesday night, so I don't know what i will be able to do, but I will try to use it as a chance to take the 3 yo out for a drive. The wife may actually go for it.

Posted by: i love porsche Jun 30 2006, 12:26 PM

noon O'clock it is

hope to see a bunch of you there

Ray, do you want to do some work on your fenders?

should i bring any tools?

i want to put my PS belt back on my car, so if we have some time, maybe we can do that too

Posted by: turboman808 Jun 30 2006, 12:34 PM

Hey if you got some fender bending tools or at least can show me how to shape them I would be into that. Maybe use my fenders as a test mule if others want to learn body work.

Oh hey if anyone wants this stuff I will bring it down to give away.

Front mount optima and box. Tried to see if I could sell it but whatever I give up HAHA Also got a hella air horn and a race mirror that I think is just to big for my car.

Posted by: rmital Jun 30 2006, 01:12 PM

donated fender for the green 914 not showing up till next time...hopefully.
Leo make a good suggestion...wait for the new one before cutting.

Aaron, take advantage of the time at the shop...I'm in no rush to get outa there.

Nate, here's the address:
759/763 Riverside Ave. • Lyndhurst, NJ 07071

Posted by: jet1 Jun 30 2006, 05:49 PM

I will really try to make it down next time with the fender, but until then I wanted to give you a heads up on the condition of the fender. It is a straight fender with no signs of bondo. I left extra metal on it when I cut it off so it will require some cutting and grinding. it does have a rust spot that will need to be cut out and replaced (see photo). It looks like the best approach would be to cut the fender on the green car right behind the wheel well and section in the new fender, but I am not an expert by any means. I know it was a PITA to cut out around where the door hinges so if that part of the green car can be saved then I don't think it should be removed. I guess we can figure it out when I get down there.

Happy 4th!!

Keith
