I saw Brians car a few weeks ago. We pulled off both rocker panels and about a pound of dirt fell out of each side but not a lot of rust. We also pulled the battery, the FI brain and I think he was going to pull the fresh air blowers. What he needs is to expose everything and take care of the rust problems. I think he needs to do a lot of work with a wire brush attachment on his drill. I also noticed the right rear donut had a crack around it. A bit more welding to do and a whole lot of cleaning. I only had an hour or so and told him what I thought and I'm sure you guys will have a lot more good suggestions for him. It seemed, with the small amount of time I had with the car that the tub is in pretty good shape for the money.
It's great to have a new member and he is just a few minutes from Lagunero and me. Cheers, Elliot |

Whoops... hex-head bolts I meant are in the SHIFTER bar... First one is under the boot by the trans... loosen the hose-clamp (if the clamp and boot are there). You'll see the hex head for the conical screw in there.
Second one is in the shift bar by the firewall. Pull the accordian boot over the linkage there and spray the conical screw there. You should see the hex head of the screw from the bottom. Let it set for a few days... If we're lucky those will come out easy!!! I guess the real experts (skline, clayton, joe) will comment if I forgot anything??? |

I'm not sure if I'm going to Thunderhill this weekend or not. I know one of the race cars is going, but I may send two techs up with it and wait to go north for the Sears event in a few weeks. IF I dont go I wouldnt mind showing up to help out.

This sounds likea good time, but I can't make it.
Make sure to grab "the" cv joint tool. The "four square" thingy. If everyone brings one, you'll be sure to have one. If you don't have one, you just end up spending a bunch of money on beer and nuthin' gets done. my .02. |

Ok was just sitting here thinking of a few things, perhaps I will come up with more. The list will grow as I get further into the repairs. Rear brake rotors, Calipers, Front trunk pan, front and rear bumpers. Prefer the style of the "75" model, I believe, I don't know if they can mount without a bunch of fab work. Need front dash, center console mounts under dash, battery tray. A welder to mount the tray as well as some minor welding repairs. There will be more... Mainly cosmetics, I'm sure there will be more mechanical parts once the engine is dropped. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |

NOTE TO Bmunday:
I'm in this for the food. I know nothing about cars. I think Aaron is a fictional charachter of some guy named Skline. The parts I have in my storage are for an Edsel. I heard your cousin was hot. My real name is Richard Simmons and I hang out at 914 events to feel important. Twystd1 Hey... if you can order a battery tray from PP or HPH or wherever you can get one before Saturday.. Maybe someone will loan us a MIG and we can throw it in... Anyone have a PORTABLE MIG 110VAC????? Hey, bmunday, Do you have the tools to grind and clean metal? Do you have a compressor? Do you have a cute neighbor chick that likes middle aged men? (Don't even go there Slits) Do your friends really call you Bmunday? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) See ya on Saturday... WHAT TIME BRO? And it looks like MattR may come on down to lend some kind of wierd relational data nano scripting to your blinker fluid. He was with Albert tonight and said he might show up.. Just spoke to Skline. He might be coming also. I will let ya know whom I KNOW is coming on Friday..... LateRZzzzz. Twystd1 |

Well, my prior commitment for saturday is on. I'm helping fellow board member kdfoust install a flat six into his ride. I'm sure you guys will have enough folks to assist. I was REALLY looking froward to meeting a bunch of 914 guys. I'm on the bay window forum over at teh samba and we're all spread out across teh country. I never meet anyone... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)
Not to highjack or anything thing but...It did take 3 of us 6 + hours to get the engine out. The car had to be jacked up a rediculous amount to get everything to clear. The jacking by itself took 25 minutes! We had to cut pieces of wood to put under the jack stands and stack them safely ect. It probably took a good hour to unhook everything and do the labels too. ( L-jet). If you guys can get it out in an hour, I'd like to know your technique. granted, we had never done this before but even I was amazed at how diffecult this job was! |

I am thinking that you and Kevin should come over at least to watch. If I dont have to work, I will be there. I have dropped an engine and tranny in less than an hour by myself. As the locals will tell you, I had a lot of practice. If I can get my speedo drive gear fixed in the Chalon, I may drive it down, otherwise, it will be the truck and some parts for you. I know I have a good set of rear rotors here. I also have a few jacks and stands too. Tell Kevin (Kdfoust) to wait on his car and then we will all go over to his house and help him with his car. Is he doing the 6 in his green car? I was wondering what happened to him, he used to come out to all of our runs and events. Great guy. I may be working tonight which would put me in line to work again this weekend but maybe it will be Sunday and not Saturday. We will see.

This is the second time in as many posts where the aadmin and scotty get mentioned in your post above me. Whats up dude!?! After all the things we've... done... this is what I get? Man, you're ugly. Me and the Mexican will be there. I'll run by Kragen and get some blinker fluid on my way... I'm sure we'll need it. |

Ok first and foremost. You hear my cousin was hot?????? Did I miss the buss on that one? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) You guy's are begining to scare me. Maybe I should tell the wife to gather the dogs and leave for the day... I don't have a compressor unfortunatley.. Don't have a grinder. Limited to a couple of sanders. I guess I need to invest some cash in tools.. Try to convince the wife of that.. My real name is Brian Munday, bmunday is a bit of a lame screen name I know, but I lack creativity some times. I was hoping to start between 9:00-10:00 is that to early? I didn't want to take everyones Saturday if they had other things to do. Earlier the better, more time for food drink and socializing. No hot neighbor chicks sorry.... Married mid life. I don't know JACK about cars, just the basics, but love this car. No friends call me Bri or "B". Richard you going to do anther exercise video? You know Leisure World is close by maybe you can drop by for a autograph session... The Blue hairs love you... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) All in fun...
