97TA-WS6-Con

Well guys I do not know where to start. Thanks a million to everyone. Sunday IS happening as there are still things to do and I'll also be finishing up NEXT Saturday with the intake and the front suspension and hopefully getting the car started.

There are so many people to say a big thanks to. Everyone made a contribution but I think I have to say special Kudo's to Mike (Sleeper) and Johnny and a new guy to the group that I think has made a temendous impression, Sarjinda Bains.

I think that something like 22 - 25 peeps dropped in for some time or another and I think propably 20 folks swung a wrench at one time or another. We got a lot done and I think it showed me more then anything how long it would have taken to do this all on my own.

Thanks to Ken (Iroc383) for the compressor. Made a big differance installing the the torque arm. There was PJ rebuilding the back end. Todd and Jack with painting and the front shocks. Craig was here all day working on the rear end and everywhere else for that matter. Houman, Rob, Mike and a fourth person managed to get the tranny in with great difficulty given I did not have a clutch alignement tool.

Richard (the Watcher) was here helping, Charles with the dremel, Mike (ZedZag) doing some interior work amongst other things. Of course there was Matt and Payam doing what they do best, headers and plugs. Armen came in his Sunday best White shirt, but I got him to re-install the shifet and concule Aly was here for a number of hours as well.

We had a new guy, Dave and his friend stop by for a couple of hours to meet the gang and watch.

Mike was here all day, cooked lunch and fed about 18 people a HUGE meal of steak, chicken, giant mutant prawns and potatoes.

Chris (Camaro Chriss)was here, Brent and his friend (Jeff I think his name was). Sorry if I forgot anyone else but remind me if I did.

First to arrive was Mike at 9.00 am and Johnny about 10.00. We had some problems getting the motor on the mounts. The clutch was a challenge, so was the torque arm. Mike left at about 7.00 PM to go home and work on his own car. WTF. What a guy.

Thanks again everyone. I know a lot of you are coming again tomorrow and lets have another great day of socializing and working. I had a great day and hope everyone else enjoyed themselves.

Indeed, we really should do this a few times a year. A mod day where a few guys can get the community to help on their cars. I'm happy to volunteer my house, so keep it in mind.


See ya tomorrow. Time for bed, i'm tired

We defintely had a great time Saturday. First of all, thanks Shaun for the amazing hospitality - your family and neighbours in general made us feel at home. I was only able to stay until 4:30, but in that time we got alot accomplished . Special thanks to Johnny for showing me how NOT to install an opti . Mike, your chef/mechanic skills are amazing, and Sandeep your leadership and knowledge are second to none. Thanks to the rest of you for your time, teachings, and patience.

Shaun, I just got home (3:30 am ) so its unlikely I'll be able to make it tomorrow (Sunday). I will do my best to be there next weekend though.

Thanks again guys for all your help and support .
