What have you done today - to get ready for ABF?
 
It's not too far away. What did you do today to get ready for ABF? Let's try to keep this running up to the event.

I polished the glass - no more waterspots!! Will be fixing the rear main seal soon so we can dyno without spitting oil everywhere.

kettlman 03-31-08 12:09 AM

i looked at TITTIES!!!!!!!

KompressorLOgic 03-31-08 12:16 AM

notveryhappyjack 03-31-08 01:16 AM

revolut10n 03-31-08 05:10 AM

jenkin 03-31-08 07:12 AM

I thought about chasing down the previous owner of my fd so that i can get a title and get it licensed, then i went back to sleep.....

z-beater 03-31-08 09:29 AM

I beat the hell out of my car on Sat.

Cascadia 03-31-08 08:28 PM

Prayed for clear sunny weather with NO rain!!!

CODE BLUE 2 04-01-08 12:11 AM

Nah no rain allowed

Today CODEBLUE did more wet sanding on JR (the other 79) and I picked our dinner for the event, and mailed off all the Classy Chassis applications, and told the City of Wenatchee to have some sunshine waiting for us all.

wanklenoob 04-08-08 11:42 PM

Thought about getting a rear Mazda Badge, so I don't look trashy in the parade, thought about getting a new paint job, then remembered how poor I was. I looked at titties also and just signed a 3 month lease on my new place, even closer to the AB action!

KompressorLOgic 04-08-08 11:45 PM

woundup7 04-11-08 11:40 PM

We had a paintless dent repair done on the volvo, pretty amazing, we had 10 dings taken out. I'm hitting up the wrecking yard tomorrow looking for a front fender and drivers doors, as those dents were to big to pop out. We also schedule up an appointment to get the window tinted. Less than 3 weeks to go. YIKES.

TOOSHORT_88 04-12-08 02:41 AM

bstrange99 04-12-08 02:42 PM

I wiped the dust off the little steel plate on top of the center iron. Also I mixed up a spray bottle of 1/2 simple green and 1/2 water. tomorrow I'll prolly tune up the spray bottle to make sure I get a good even mist.

Upgrayedd 04-12-08 03:50 PM

Upgrayedd 04-12-08 04:43 PM

Don't have my new ppf reinforced yet, want a new fuel system, and yeah it's too far to ake the car in its current state.

NaturalSmooth 04-14-08 07:43 AM

Found that I wasn't supposed to use the front cover gasket that came with my rebuild kit, so I just got finished fixing that. Currently in the process of relocating my battery to do a front mount. Unfortunately I don't think I will have time to do the poly bushing kit or put in my glass sunroof :-(

Good luck to everyone on getting their projects finished this month! :-)

CODE BLUE 2 04-14-08 09:11 PM

I scrubbed Blue down, waxed her twice, painted back lens...changed order of the amount of t-shirts for the event.....got our menu figured out for banquet....

wanklenoob 04-14-08 10:46 PM

Damm thats a huge swap out in a day. Save some time for the phatbody.

Checked on the volvo today after work. Fender, hood, and door, are ready for primer. Bumper covers are off and being repaired. Probably spray primer monday afternoon. This shop is fast.!!!

wanklenoob 04-18-08 05:26 PM

man you guys are putting so much work into yours, several are getting new paint JOBS! I feel ashamed lol, I'm just going to give mine a thorough washing, and detail, with a nice wax job. lol I've even got some dents that aren't going to be coming out. My cars going to be the ugliest there.

Don't worry about it. You can park next to me. that should make yours look pretty good. I'll be damned if I'm going out in a snowstorm in july to clean my car.

Don't say that...Iotus one of our cars is in pretty bad shape. My car (Blue) she always gets a good detailing and a few coats of polish on her after a long snowy winter here in snowkompton. Our other car JR was painted last fall, but never got wet sanded. So just normal cleaning and polishing.

I think all of us have dents lol. So yeah lol just park next to bstrange99 jk..

Never be ashamed of your car, they are all unique

endneu913 04-19-08 01:29 AM

wheels are here.

For anyone who knows the last year of my cars life.. this is....epic.

Let the ghetto booty come out and play!

notveryhappyjack 04-19-08 11:50 AM

rotorette 04-19-08 12:07 PM

Can't wait to see them in person Grae.
Codeblue - looks good - how much blue paint do you guys own? :)
wankelnoob - don't worry on it, this event is just our excuse to get the stuff done we've wanted to do since purchasing the car since the previous owner used the driving by feel method.

Oh yeah, since the cars in the shop, I've updated my cafepress stores and bought some stuff.
