Ok Peeps,

The time has come for me to have a Mod fest on my Car. I will be building my house come April, so I only have March to get the majority of the work done on my bird. I was planning on having a mod fest on the 27th/28th of March or the 3rd/4th of April. Things I need to do include:

1) Work on the motor a bit-->valvetrain, etc
2) Remove Front Fenders/Bumper
3) Install K-member, a-arms, sway bars, TA
4) Fix the Rear End seal leak and possibly get 410s installed
5) Fuel Pump
6) Get tranny looked at

Some of this won't be done until the motor has been worked on. So it may turn into a two weekend job. What I'm looking for is a few people to help me out. I will provide the food and beer for all those willing to help out. Payam and Matt, you guys have already offered help, so I'll be holding you to it , and Twitch you said you'd help me with the body work. So if you three can confirm if that weekend/s is ok than I'll start planning. Anyone else who wants to help or just come by and hang out are more than welcome. My car is currently stored in New West/Burnaby so thats where we will be working on it. It's a large garage, so if the weather turns crappy, we can still be inside and have room to work.

If any others are interested, please post and I can get something more definite.
Thanks
Sandeep

 

I'll be able to help on the afternoon of the 27th and should be free all day on the 28th.

 

yeah sure i'll give ya a hand

i just dont know why ud be pulling ut motor ?

 

I'm pulling the motor for a couple of reasons. I have a very persistant oil leak that doesn't want to go away. If we can do it without pulling the motor, I'll go that way. I also will be changing a few of the internals, so I figure the time it takes to pull the motor out and put it back in will be worth it for the ease of working on it. If you got better ideas, let me know. The fenders and nose will be off so it may be easier to work on without pulling it. Also, the k-member is coming off, so as per Matt, the motor might as well come out from the bottom.

 

what "internals" are u changing ?

oil leaks can be fixed without pulling the motor ... unless ur going to rebuild the motor or put new pistons in it then there is no point in pulling it ..

 

I'm pretty sure my wife and I are out of town on the March weekend but I'll try and commit to the April weekend.

 

WOOOT !! MODFEST 04 !!

I can help re and re the front clip Wooot !!

Just a note but . . . . Are the peices going to be fresh from the paint shop ?? Make sure they have ( minimum )a week to cure before we hang them if were doing that part . Otherwise they will scratch when Im draging them around the yard and resting me beer(s) on them . . . . we dont want that

 

i'll come give a hand, as long as i dont work. but i dont think i will be. let me know

 

i'll supervise and drink all the beer

 

haha same

 

Ollie too!!

 

lol

 

i dont mind helping if im not working on those saturdays.

 

so .. what ARE we going to be doing ?! u havent answered me yet about the motor ?!?

 

Damn you guys up there get all the fun! I'm doing my heads and cam all by my lonesome

Sounds sweet Sandeep you know if the motor is out you really should do some major mods like heads and cam if you don't have them already it would be a SHAME to put it back in without that. I know all the times I've worked on my ride and WISHED the motor was out!
