I am thinking of hitting up some SC meets, and bridging the gap between the NC boys and the GA guys
Who knows, maybe they know of some good spots to hang out for a weekend at. Besides Crits lakehouse... which was a blast and a half

Well there is the Lake House. How about a fall meeting at the Lake House? Early enough for a little swimming?

I don't think we should ask of that to many times with the same person.

Maybe for a September meet?

I want to make a run down there for a meet, but would have to be a weekend thing. GA is a little far to go for a Tuesday night meet. I don't care what we do. A BBQ and maybe a drive would be nice. Could be at the lake house, a state park or ???

The lakehouse isn't difficult to do, but it's much better-suited to a weekend. The setup and cleanup take longer than you'd think, and it would make a Tuesday get-together a really stressful day. Maybe we can do it again on a weekend before it gets too cool, but certainly not for a normal OGTA evening.

Brett and Collin, I appreciate the offer, but now I've got a fully stocked truck, and it's easy enough that it doesn't warrant the drive that you guys have ahead of you. Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm cool.

I've got a 12A S3 tranny that needs nothing but a shifter. And, I'm pretty darn close.

And I have the pedal box you are going to need. Maybe even a master cylinder. You will need a flywheel for the motor - I do not have that.

Yours if you want them.

[QUOTE=Crit;8402855]Ray, I got rained out last night with all the storms, and my fuel pump is different than yours, though they're in the same place. I've got ramps, jacks, extinguisher, tools, etc and a new pump in the truck, so I'll hit it this afternoon.

Crit, I am just now catching up on the posts. I have a commitment tonight, but if you don't get the car going tonight, let me know and I can help Thursday evening. Sorry, I can't make it by tonight.

Crit, what would you and Deena say to a Saturday September 6, 13 or 20th (or the following Sunday) for a Lake House Rotary Event?

I know she put you in the Dog House after the last one, but maybe we could do a better job of cleaning up this time?

You young'ns need to get some girl friends!

You just missed the big weekend meet in ATL. ZoomFest at Road Atlanta this past weekend.

I'm sure we will get another weekend meet soon. Maybe another drive up in the mountains.

I second that. The trip to NC was the most fun I've ever had in my car.

Yeah..I knew about Zoomfest..couldn't make that one, though. Looks like you all had a good time, though. Anyway, I'll try to get down there for the next weekend meet.

It ain't yours until you give them money. If you gave him a deposit, then he shouldn't have sold it on ya. But, if you didn't give him any money down, then you lose. Sometimes you have to act fast.

I looked on craigslist a while ago and looked at these-

This one would need Crit and Billys' help for the transmission to meet Holly's standards :

And ohh, red leather and a 13B:

Wow, those cars are ridiculously expensive. If anyone really is interested in an FB let me know. I know of a couple good buys out there.
