Anyone that wants anything off of the Junkster can come out on Sunday for a Sawzall party at my place.
I'll provide the Steaks and Beer, you bring a wrench, and a car/truck that you can take some parts home in. Were going to drop the engine, and then have at-it. I've got a list of stuff for a few members here, but the rest id up for grabs. Everything left over is going into trash bags.
PM me for my Address and Phone number. I'm in Shaker Heights about 8mi East of Cleveland. 2hrs from Pittsburgh and Toledo.
I'm thinking around 10:00 AM.
Everyone is welcome!

Sweet. I think I'll need to buy my own at some point, but bring anything you think we'll need. I've got lots of sockets, wrenches, and air tools.
Looks like there are 4 people so far. This could get fun.
Come on Ohio people...it's not that far!

Most of the front-end is available. I'll need to knwo what you are looking for before you drive up from KY though...wouldn't want you coming all the way and then not getting what you wanted...

Apr 6 2005, 07:25 PM
um...front end from extreme front, all the way back to vin tag area on wheel-well....well more like to firewall gas-tank area....so i've never been involved in one of these b4...could explain it for the n00b?

Apr 6 2005, 07:32 PM
It's all there. There was a guy that needed a piece of it, but I don't think it'd be good enought to cut up and send to him. I was going to keep a lot of the hardware, but if you want the front clip, come and get it. YOu can have everything including the windshield if you want.

Apr 6 2005, 07:44 PM
Doug, do you have any battery tray repair materials....IIRC your tray loooked worse than mine.
CptTripps
Apr 6 2005, 08:07 PM
Windshield is cracked. But the frame is good...
Tray is gone, and if you look at the pics here, you'll see the hell-hole.

Apr 6 2005, 08:34 PM
It's not that great. I was going to pull part of it, but now it looks like Britt is taking the front clip.
I *MAY* use part of it on mine if he doesn't take it. Look at the pics though...pretty hosed.

Guys,
How about pulling that wiring harness and giving it to Subaru Scott Thacher? He just fried his.
edit: cancel that... looks like he has one.
CptTripps
Apr 7 2005, 08:22 PM
I'll pull it, but I doubt it'll be any good....
We are going to pull it all, and bag everything. If it is worth anything, you'll know about it.

I have a 76 changed to early bumbers. So I need the rear tow hook body metal. Any chance yours is useable. I'm in central Ohio and if the weather is OK this weekend I get to rent a power washer for the deck and garage. Being part of this gathering sounds better.

Apr 7 2005, 08:49 PM
Doug, are we still good for the front end? i am praying to every god that I can get out there on sunday....trouble is finding a suitable vechile for the trip.....my dad's land rover doesn't look capable of doing the job.....i dunno.

Britt: It's yours if you can get up here to get it.
BBrown: I'm not sure about the rear tow-hook. I'll let you know tomorrow when it's light out and I can see it. This would ba a LOT more fun that washing the driveway!

AAAHHHHH! I'm supposed to go to Syracuse to do a rear break job on my X's Toyota "Novarolla" on Sunday.
You know the door jamb on the driver's side under the VIN plate, ya know where it meets the sill? There's a hole in mine about the size of one of Brad's handcuffs. Just above the jack post. Is it any good? Should I tell the ex just to ignore the brake light? and come out. Our should I hire one of you guys to cut it for me and mail it. Big money, big money???!!!
CptTripps
Apr 9 2005, 07:12 PM
So we've got 7 people that tell me they are coming up tomorrow. I've got the car ready to go...
Once we get into it, we'll start checking to see if there is anyone here that needs anything.
I've got 20 SawzAll blades, 60 beers, 12 Steaks, and 1 f-ed up 914....should be a fun day!
See my sig for my address and a google-map. Call if you get close and are lost.
CptTripps
Apr 10 2005, 08:10 AM
I've had emails and PMs from about 5 people...which usually means 2 will show up. I'll put my address and home number in my sig Saturday night, and take it off Sunday night if anyone has requests, or wants to come out.
I've got enough filets in the freezer for about 12 people, so whoever wants to show up, you are more than welcome to!
As far as requests go, email them to me, and we'll go through them on Sunday and see what is useable, and what isn't. I'll post pics as we are going so you can all ask for stuff. I've got a laptop in the garage for these reasons.
