Work party in Portland? - PART TWO, Nobody eats snacks Options

[r3dplanet]

ALL RIGHT!

Part one was really successful. We got the bare engine mostly assembled with the ancillaries and the car is jacked way up, ready for install.

SO THERE NEEDS TO BE A PART TWO where I'm again calling for any volunteers and dates when folks can show up. On the agenda:

* finish installing the missing bits and remaining engine tins, starter, alternator
* install the engine and gearbox into the car
* install exhaust system
* install new brake master cylinder

I can always make time any day of the week, but normal people need to plan. From the last shout-out it seems that Saturdays are the best. I welcome your input there.

Also - for the tools giveaway. I have more stuff to give away but the main things are:

* tall hydraulic press
* new Eastwood bench top blasting cabinet
* engine work stand w/ very nice type-1/4 mount
* misc


Thank you!




Lady an Gentlemen,

I'm testing the waters to see if I can round up some genteel folk to help me put my 914 back into working order so I can sell it.

The Corvair engine is almost, but not quite, ready. So it won't be going into the car. Instead, I paid a local shop to assemble the Type-4 1911cc engine with parts I had previously machined.

The car is mostly in one piece but there are interior and dash bits to install, some cleanup, a tiny bit of welding for the passenger engine mount, and then get the engine and gearbox installed. I have all the tools necessary - just not the muscles and inevitable wiener jokes.

It isn't safe for me to do this work solo, so here I am asking for help. While technically not a party, I can provide things like booze, snacks, and I dunno .. maybe some onions or prunes or something. It shouldn't take more than one day if I can get at least 2-3 people. Then we're off to dinner, which is totally on me. Lots of good eateries in this town.

If anyone wants to volunteer Just let me know if/when is workable and what snack requirements are. Ideally this or next weekend (September 8th/9th or September 15th/16th) are the best dates because I'm in between medical junk. Mostly I want to sell of my little orange baby before the weather turns. And before I get re-attached to it.

Once done, the car goes up for sale and of course I'll post in the classifieds here first.

Thanks for reading.
