List of things to do before the fest? This is the first year my car really does not need anything to go to the party:D I was just curious what kind of to-do list others have before the big day? |
motor swap----edit....BUILD motor now that "Fresh" motor was junk-----done tubular x-member---finished, and a-arms swap---done spring swaps---done re-wire car harness front to back--almost done put in 5 point harnesses--almost done, tabs need to be welded up still buy a helmet for the track--still waiting on helmet then get jay's car running and help out firebird383 as needed as well. So I have 3 cars to finish up. :thumbsup: |
first i have to get mine back from paint, and then i have to completely reassemble the car, right now it's a bare shell inside and out. install motor and trans install dash and interior wiring lca's install interior fuel tank and sending unit and fuel lines refinish the wheel's better stop i'm scaring myself lol should have it done with time to spare |
I have some minor things to get done, a little bit of welding, spray the spoiler and the engine bay. Then give it a wash and wax! I guess I could get it done in a weekend, when I get time. My fiance opened a flower shop in Mokena last weekend, and then our wedding is in April, so by Mid-May I should be able to get some time to get around to it. |
wash, wax, clean interior fill with gas, chairs coolers and other stuff... then hit the road.... might rebuild the trans first tho |
i'm jealous tony...lol |
I still have to finish the stuff that I didnt get done for last year. - Finish the 4th gen guages - Finish the Ram Air Setup - Redo the headliner The only thing I got done since last year is put in a new clutch, so this year I can actualy get on it without it slipping like crazy. |
Originally posted by xpndbl3 ...help out firebird383 as needed as well... My list: About a weekends worth of odds-n-ends to get the engine fired. Install 9-inch- assemble 95 Z28 rear discs to housing Install new C4HD front brake kit Install booster/master/prop valve Install wonderbar, Eibach springs, LCA's, adj Panhard, STB, etc. Install complete interior (nothing but the dash in there now) Install weatherstripping I'm sure there's more, but the list is already giving me a headache. |

Pretty much for the last 2 months all I've done is go to work, sleep, and work on the car. I've even cut the sleep time down. My wife came out to the garage to get me at 4am on Wed Night (Thurs morning?). Yes, it sucked being at work 3-1/2 hours later. Anyway, if you get yours done with time to spare, give me a shout. |
alright, next week i'll run out there sometime to give you a hand. hoping to get my car to jay's during mid week to have him wetsand/buff my car and put the rest of my windows together. then hopefully fire up his car as well, that'll be trailer rental #1 for me, then #2 will be thirdgenfest. monday i'm supposed to wire up daturbosix's car if he finishes everything else this weekend, so who knows. tomorrow jay's supposed to weld in some harness tabs for me, i've been fighting this cold for quite a few days now too, trying to sleep a lot and get over there. today's the 12th, you have officially two weeks to finish 'er up kev....i'll give ya a hand next week for sure. |
i need to REDO the trans I just built and then burnt up because it leaked all the fluid out in the last 3 blocks to my house.....another $150 in clutches and steels here i come!!! |
Wow, everyone's got problems. I have to do...NOTHING. Cause I don't own a third gen anymore. :D I've been helping out my friend Tom to get his 88 GTA going before TGF. His list... Install engine/trans/driveshaft, remove fenders, nose and door, sand, prime and paint everything, install door, fenders nose and hood. If there is time, it might get wet sanded and buffed. I might drive my '87 Monte SS there if I have somewhere to be after. If not, I'll ride with the GTA. |
You're gonna have all that done in 10 days? :hmmm: Wow! |
Woo hoo !!! My 406 is up and running . Finally . Now just a few tweaks , and I can get it inspected liscensed and plated . Should be able to make it after all . |
