You should check out the Blue Ridge Rotary Run. We are camping on Saturday evening on the Blue Ridge Parkway. You and your wife could make two events in one weekend. Go to the Lake Lanier Old Skool event, then drive up to meet us at the camping area. If you are interested let me know I will find the link in this forum for you.

 

Here is the link for the Blue Ridge Rotary Run (B3R)

Sounds interesting, Holly. Not sure if it will work with our schedule or not, though. Also, we don't have any camping equipment. I'm getting a pretty intersting route laid out. Have to still figure out what to see in the Smoky Mtns, but currently have laid out a loop that is just over 1000 mi and about 20hr of driving. Mix of highways coming down or areas that would be travelled at night. Lots of twisty scenic roads for the day.

Kent

 

Wow Kent, thats a ton of driving!

 

yup. I think that it will be fun, though. Even if I just went to the meet and straight back home, it would still be like 850 mi and about 14.5-15hr of driving. This way, I'll be able to see some scenic stuff and enjoy the drive way more than doing all highway. Highway is fast, but boring!

Stu: Do you, Sam, and maybe Tim want to get together Friday evening? Maybe go out to eat? We could meet in Statesville (at Sam's) or in Charlotte or whatever. I'll bring those interior parts down. I also have those 12A irons if you want 'em.

 

So I may be about to do something stupid. I think the FD is officially going up for sale. As much as it hurts, I just don't think it will get driven enough shortly.

The question is, anyone have a clue what it's worth? 1995, I think a PEP, MB, 70k miles, all original. Honestly, it's in good shape. It will be 100% stock with the exception of the boost gauge and the connection for the air fuel gauge (no gauge, since that's sitting in Crit's center console). Interior is probably a 9, paint is an 8 or so.

I'm probably going to take it over to get the pulsation damper replaced soon. Unless someone wants to take it as is, I'll knock a grand off the price.

So, thoughts?

And no, the 12A isn't going anywhere

 

Why not replace the PD? I'll be glad to help. I'll even take that straight pipe off your hands.

 

I'm starting to doubt my ability to finish it . Plus, I can't even start to get to it for another week. I plan on it being fixed before I sell though, one way or another.

 

Oh, don't start with that Tim..You can totally do it!!!

 

Yeah, the value in your car is in its pristine condition. Without a test drive, you won't be able to capitalize on that. It really isn't that hard. I'll volunteer a day, if you've still got all the parts on-hand. You looking at something starting with an E?

 

I'm probably picking up something this weekend that starts with an E.....

 

Don't do it. Wait for the Evora.

 

Not a big fan of it.

I'll admit to being a little nosy, as I looked to see if you've posted details in the FD section. Sho' nuff, there's nothing. What's the status regarding the Pulsation Damper, and what are the obstacles to getting it together? Collin earlier mentioned a broken bolt to me, but I wasn't at the meet to talk to you about it.

 

Nah, no broken bolts. A possibly stripped screw on the solenoid rack. After that comes out, then it's not too bad to the pulsation damper. The biggest thing that has been in my way has been studying. Test is next friday, so after that, I'll get back on it along with the 50,000 projects around the house.

 

Holy @#$@. Carfax is $40 now?

 

I'm redoing my bathroom. Started out as a simple window replacement but now I'm replacing an outer wall and raising the ceiling a foot, along with rerouting all the electric. I'm thinking about putting a skylight in, anybody been there done that? Fun project, great weather for it.

I've run out of projects for the White One. All the fluids recently changed (even greased the tie rod ends and rear washer fluid), so not much 7 news.

But I am looking forward to next Saturday and the OGTA/OSJC autumn bash at Lake Lanier.

 

Here are some deconstruction progress pics of the Turd....somehow I dont think she'll be making it to the OSJC meet but I will...





the junk pile

 

Now that's looking good, a little vegetarian for a real Turd, but nice color.

Is that what you're keeping? I like it!

 

Hey, anyone interested in running another PDX at Road Atlanta in a few weeks?

 

I'd love to if finances allow...unfortunately they might not...information?

I've found a guy with some steel channel...4" wide, 1" feet...and he's going to cut it to the length I need and USPS it in a flate rate box because it's so much cheaper than actually driving that far away. Sweetness! Next paycheck I'm gonna have to use for some bearings and whatnot...then this swap is HAPPENIN'!

I'm obsessively excited!

 

Might be a decent way to break in the new car.....


And those One Rate boxes are great. Coworker had a tombstone for his cat shipped in one. Probably weighed 40lbs (exact size of the box slab of granite) cost like $3.95.

 

Alright, spill the beans...what'd you buy?

 

better be a 12A
