oops...yes....the entire wheel not just rims, that would look funky.

Yea I think glossy would be best. Tinting windows will be next. Assuming no catastrophic engine / power train failures.

 

you too can be bumble bee :P

 

Hey guys, sorry its been awhile. I was moving stuff and had a mishap with the PC tower. Just rebuilt it and re-installed windows, what a pain. I dont have a lot of time atm, working 5a-5p, lol. So did i miss anything the last few weeks?

 

Not sure if you missed it, but we have a meet this Friday.
Outback in Macedonia at 6:30pm
8250 Macedonia Commons Blvd.
Macedonia, OH 44056


Funny that you mentioned PC problems, I was working on mine yesterday.
My desktop decided to remove me as an owner of one of my hard drives in the security section.
Took over an hour to gain access to the drive and get those pesky pad-lock icons off my files.
Then I upgraded my laptop to Win7 (free upgrade... I actually have a legal version)!
I'm about to upgrade my desktop to Win7 x64, currently running Win7 RC x86 on it.

 

Friday 13th at Outback Macedonia. 6:30 - Just trying to get a seat count

1. Doc + Joe
2. Stig
3. Vyndictive + Margarita Girl
4. Bryan and Megan
5. Jon not John
6. Ryan

 

Steve,

I'll call you when I leave the house tomorrow. Will that work. Looking at getting there 9-10?

 

See if they will reserve a few parking spots in a row for us too, LOL

 

Fixed.

It's with an "i" not a "y".

I probably won't get there till 7 though coming straight from work.

That works for me... I roll into work between 7.30-8.30.



Maybe I'll dump some coolant into the 8 and bring it up this friday . . .

EDIT: John, facebook told me it was your birthday... where is the party?

 

You still haven't taken care of the leak?
Oh well... you have all winter

 

It leaks when you drive it. . . my solution: stop driving it.

So, technically, I "fixed" the leak without really doing any work.

 

Maybe you just need some hoses that don't leak.

Jon - gauges?

 

Long as I can write you an IOU

 

Works for me. I'm sick of lugging the box of stuff around. And I know how much the threat of a Bad Guy thread would motivate you.

 

Gasket is leaking. . . nice try though!


Jon - speaking of items you may need. Still interested in the front caliper?

 

I'm interested because mine is bitched-up... but same situation as buying Ryan's gauges.
You are talking to someone who couldn't afford to buy those $20 fog lights you linked me to last week
So if you need to make a profit soon, don't wait for me.

Being broke sucks... and I just got my hospital bill for the broken finger.

 

Fax it to Obama! He gonna make everything okay!

In all seriousness, I am a couple hundred, or an ebay suspension, away from breaking even on the car, so I can slow down a bit because I've recovered my initial investment already. So I can be a little less aggressive on moving parts quickly.

 

Maybe he'll buy me new tags also?
Since my B-Day is on the 16th, I have to buy tags for all three cars before then

 

REALLY! And you haven't even sold the engine or transmission yet!
That's awesome!

 

Just for sh#ts and giggles what would you want for the engine? I'm gonna be turning over 100k by Friday I think and as soon as the warrantee expires is when the thing will implode. Just thinking ahead to the 'worst case' scenario. ~William

 

It would be for the engine core. Essentially rotors, e-shaft, irons and housings.

In its current condition, I would say $650 for a local with assistance.

My other plan was to pull it apart while I sell the other stuff to see if I could get away with keeping it. Refurbishing it, and then having a back-up engine for me also... but I'm open to selling it.

 

You guys are having a party without me.

 

Steve- I'm sure you aren't going to work on the car during the week, but if you are let me know.
I work tonight, then next Tuesday night... those are the only days this month I work so I'm free to help.

 

alright, sweet, as long as there is a party.



Jon: we could schedule come time to work on the Donor. I just got keys to the houses and shop, so I'll be slammed over there, but it would be good to schedule a day to work on cars for a break.
What about next 11/18 or 11/19?

Maybe we can get that engine out of there for any potential buyers.
