The Artist Point was open last year, I had three runs up there. They repaved the
road 3 years ago on the lower section and it is still nice, I've been up twice
this year already. The Upper section is scheduled to start clearing the road the
!st week in July and then its best to wait till the snow melts back from the
edges of the road and then there is no water on the road that can make it
slippery as you come around the corners. there is only one wet area on the lower section now, I was up last Saturday

[/quote]


I thought trailers were for boats,

They are unless you have a car with under 70K on it and your try to keep that # down..... or a snow machine.....so i trailer it up ,unload and drive for the day ,real easy...,load her back up and drive home ,lots of miles saved and i still get to come hang out with you none travel`n northend pukes.... cept Steve who will drive down from Canada eat a burger cut a part off a car drink a crappy Canadan beer and turn around and drive back that nite ..He`s the man ...LMAO

yup i drive a long way to hang with and old bunch of nuts talking about tires that turn to bubblegum
and i will prolly do it twice more this summer
to bad Mr Hines lit outta there so soon!

Hmm.. I must've just been up there at the wrong times. Or maybe it was two years ago. The wet spots don't bug me. It's the left over sand that makes me uneasy.




Hey now, I was driving to hang out with the north end guys when I lived down south and now I drive down for the south end stuff from Bham. I get a little credit too.

Hello,

I live in Renton and I bought a 914 LE a week ago, before starting to restore the car I would need some advice (paint shops, good places to get parts, ...). Where and when will you meet next time so taht I can stop by for a chat?

Thanks,
- Juergen

bump for a plan for this week?

Welcome to the Club! Looking forward to meeting you. As far as parts, the classified section is a great help. You can read through or post a want to buy (WTB) add.
For technical help, a quick search on the site or you can post a question. We will all help. Some responses should be taken with a grain of salt.
What was the color combo on your LE?

The color combo was Black/Yellow, it's a Bumblebee and I will paint it again in the original color. I will drop the engine this weekend and then the work on the body starts, I'm currently looking for a new fuel tank because it's rusted inside (only 3 Gallons where in and that for 20 years).

I'll bet you could do a POR-15 tank treatment and it would be good as new. It's worth looking into anyway. It's amazing stuff.

I just took a motorcycle tank to Performance Radiator. They boiled it out and coated it. It came out really nice. They have a store down in the south. Look them up. Josh VanDusen at 425.252.7330 can give you the number for the southern stores. Tell him the guy with the BMW motorcycle Tank sent you.

Ive had them boil our a couple of tanks for me. Ive used interior tank coatings before (motorcycle) and have never been happy with the results...longer term. Clean it to steel Kill the rust and fill it with gas.

can some one pm me Kevins phone or email...i would like to ask him to ppi an old single cab in Tacomafor me
thanks

FOCUS!


PLAN for the week!??????

Looks like I am in.....available at this point at least!

I'm game for doing something as long as it doesn't cost anything. I'm a litle broke right now. Still love to go out and play with cars though.

did you get it go`n ..drivable?? .....Im in for something

Hi Kelty,

thanks for the offer but I bought one of Ebay on Friday for $ 45 shipped, it's a complete setup and based on the statement of the seller in good shape. I will check when the tank arrives, maybe that I come back to your offer.

Yesterday I dropped the engine and the body work will start today, I got the bolts of the CV joints open (Vice Grip and a lot of WD40), now I'm waiting for the sheet metal for the battery tray. Might be able to host a teener tuesday here at my place in the next week, what does it require besides soemthing to drink?

Juergen

Is there something else?

Hey I want to host a Tuesday too. I need to go through all the rubber and figure out what is good nough to clean up and put back on the car and what needs to be replaced. In another week I should have the complete suspension back from Eric and will really need help bolting it up. Then the car can be set on the ground again.

Hey does anybody have a set of 5 lug wheels with tires I can borrow while I'm tring to figure out what to buy. They only need to be good enough to hold the car up. Without an engine, I won't be driving anywhere

Eddie
