I would like to come check it out. Sounds like fun. I am not sure if I'll be able to make it, though. Maybe if we pushed it back a week or two would allow for rotorheads to work it into their schedule.

My crazy neighbor called the code enforcement people on me and now I have to figure out what to do with my nine RX's.

I need to figure out which one of the following to bring to the work-out. Your input is requested.

I still have the first one I ever bought (82 GSL) but it has been sitting so long the front disk brake has rusted to the rotor. Shouldn't be too big of an effort to unstick it. Probably just the "bigger hammer" principle.

I just picked up a red 85 GSL-SE that probably needs oil seals. I need to yank the engine out of it.

My black 85 GSL-SE (with 44k on the engine) has been sitting for a while and won't turn over. It feels like a stuck apex seal. It ran when I parked it, but needs some coaxing (and MMO) to live again.

My 75 RX4 needs the oil cooler bracket fixed. I also have a GSL-SE LSD that I want to swap into it.

My 88 GXL with the chevy V8 broke a fan belt and now smokes and has a knock. I'm not sure if it is shot but I suspect it. The red 85 GSL-SE came with a chevy 350 engine that is still in the back of the pickup that will be towing whatever rig I bring. So a V8 swap is one more option for the party.

I've got about a month and a half before I have to be out of my shop. I5 is being widened and I'm at ground zero. I've got a boat load of parts, so if anyone that will be at the work-out needs some parts, let me know and I'll see what I can do to donate them to the effort.

I'll be there. What time? Let me know if I should bring any food to feed the horde.

If this works out OK then we may do it again in a few weeks at my shop. Volunteers could help clean out the years of RX parts that I have collected and we could use the shop tools for your "fix ups". It's a long shot now that Gambone and his wife have a motor home and do a lot of weekend traveling, but he might me willing to do some compression tests with his cool test equipment.

Anyhow, positive feedback is appreciated.
