yeah I didn't plan on it, but we're moving engine, tranny, driveshaft, axel w/diff, and frotn suspension towers, pretty much everything. Also, we were gonig to do the pilot and throwout bearings, but the parts might not make it in time, I paid priority shipping monday night but one of the Mazdatrix guys messed up typing the card number and emailed me saying it was declined, I told them to try again and it went through, but it didn't ship out until Wednesday, so here's hoping the 2-3 day priority shipping works on the "2 day" side of things.
For what it's worth, I'll be there at 9am. This is a long drive for Chris, and he doesn't have much of an opportunity to take care of this stuff during the week. I plan to get as much done on Saturday.

Chris - As much as I want to come and help I am not going to be able to. I have to finish stripping the 82 FB Resto job I have so I can get it to the body shop. Seems like yall are gonna have a little OGTA meet. If for some reason anything changes and I can make it I will let Billy or Crit know.

I'm ordering everything from Advance now. They'll all be in tomorrow morning. I'm ordering 2 pilot bearings and seals, and 1 throwout bearing. Regardless of what Mazdatrix does for you, you'll have parts. You don't want to have to go back in there later.
For what it's worth, I'll be there at 9am. This is a long drive for Chris, and he doesn't have much of an opportunity to take care of this stuff during the week. I plan to get as much done on Saturday.

These kinds of things get me all warm and fuzzy inside
, you are all so great.Roland, don't sweat it at all man, I still really appreciate you going with Billy and I to pick up the crashed car. Take the time you need to do whatever you need, I will be in good company with everyone else and I still really appreciate everything you've done. Really a big thank you to everyone!

Alright, well just to reiterate, Billy, Chris and I will be there at or by 9am to get started. If some of you need to wait until noon, then we're happy to have the help but we'll be into the heavy lifting before then.

OK, you manly men and early birds. Let me know what time you will be here. Coffee will be ready and yes, I did get some biscuits and sausage so I can do biscuits with sausage (and cheese if you want). Don't want anyone to go hungry or thirsty around here. Could one of you early birds bring an ice chest with some ice by chance?

It unfortunately does not run. We were finishing bolting it up when we ran out of light.
Basically, needs the drive shaft bolted to the rear diff, tie rods bolted up, brakes bled, steering wheel, then fluids. Then some odds and ends I'm sure, and seats.
I am a bit disappointed that we didn't have the motor running today. But that's ok. The whole rear is done.
Don't forget to do the drive shaft before starting it Chris.

Yeah a HUUUUUUUUGE thank you to everyone who helped, and everyone who sent their support. We did all the big things today, so everything tomorrow is all little tiny jobs (albeit TONS of them). I think I'll probably get to drive it home tomorrow if I can get a few last things done.

I think Collin is onto something there. I don't think the white one should be stickered up either. Good idea Collin.
