wrench day TBD - balactm - 10-23-2008
So, is anyone interested in a wrench day anytime soon? I have a car jack and plenty of tools. If anyone wants to do an oil change, transmission flush, any regular maintenance or just tinker, post up, and we'll set a date. I actually need to fix a windshield washer fluid leak on my van right now, and we could make it a good time. If there is enough interest we'll set it up, and could possibly include some kind of grilled grub and beverages.

I should do my brakes before the rear pads turn to dust. I won't be here this weekend but anytime next week would work fine for me.

I have an uppipe I need to install-- but have heard that it can be 3-4 hours. Not sure if anyone else is doing anything that serious--

I need to do a lil work to the new beater as well as plugs adn wires in the vette, so I'd be in if I'm off work.

Oh, and speaking of washer fluid, my little nozzle thingies don't work on the driver's side, and barely on the passenger side. Guess I should fix that before winter hits.

Pish posh, I broke my washer line a couple years ago when taking out the turbo...so far so good!
PS: I'm lazy.

ill be bak in town if u guys do it on sunday. Who has tools? I can bring down some of my tools back to my place enough to get done 99% of the projects on a car. Make sure the weather looks good tho
- Jake - 10-27-2008
Either day is fine by me. Supposedly it'll be 65┬░ and sunny on Friday so that could be good, but if DJ is good for Sunday then let's do it then.
- DavidL - 10-27-2008
Hopefully I should have some springs here by the end of the week, DJ do you have a compressor? In for Friday afternoon--
- D_Eclipse9916 - 10-28-2008

I'd be down to doing some work. I need to put in a new headunit, wire up my car, install an amp and put in subs. I was planning on doing it on Saturday, but I might as well do it with a few of you guys on Sunday. It shouldn't take too long, the longest part being hiding the wiring in the car and possibly drilling a hole in the firewall. Not sure about the hole in the firewall though, I haven't checked if i need to drill one or pop out a plug.
- balactm - 10-29-2008
alright. so let's go with sunday around 2? is that good with everyone? we just need to figure out where...
- Jake - 10-31-2008
Sunday around 2 works for me. Jeff gave me a head unit that was made in this decade (thanks Jeff!) and I'm having some install issues. So, if I can't fix em tomorrow on my own, that's what I'll be doing on Sunday.
Otherwise, brakes. Holler.
Andddd, yeah we should figure out where to do this. Maybe Campus View's parking lots? I know Natalie mentioned they have an excess of parking over there.

campus view works for me...
