17-20 Feb at Ian's place (if it's still good for him). You can crash at my place, tho it's better than 20 miles from Ian's and that will give me a way home while my car is laid up. I am off 'til the 23rd since Wed the 22nd is my birthday (thought I would take that off too Very Happy

)

thats not so far. at least i don't have to drive through Seattle. so when are we starting this thing. it's a 3hr 15min drive for me. so hopefully not too early. Surprised

and should i bring any tools or are we set on that at ians place?

Al Hasse · Posted: Fri Feb 10, 2006 12:43 pm Post subject:

I don't know how Ian is set up, but I only have basic tools, nothing to do a swap with. I also need to move the motor from my place - I might recruit my bother-in-law or borrow his truck Smile

Assumig he can take Friday off.

i have an engine hoist. but i would realy rather not transport it in my GTA.

oh! i might be getting my V6 cleaned out and might be driving that up! better MPG. so you might get to get a look at that thing before it goes away. Very Happy

it ghetto fabulus!

I just remembered.... Duh

since I'm retired Navy, I might be able to use the auto hobby shop on the Bangor base to do this, they should have almost every tool we need. Smile

I'll check tomorrow, since I'm not sure about guests, it's a pretty secure base.

cool. then we would have a lift!

also my 86 just passed DEQ (emmissions inspection) with flying colors. as long as the detailing place does not mind cleaning mold i will be driving the 86 (with its mild header leak and its 23 sexy mile per galon) up to washington. that car PULLS hard for a little 2.8. perhaps once we get your 3.1 running we can race Laughing

i bet anything the 3.1 kicks my ass.

Hobby shop is a go! Smile

Open Friday and Saturday next weekend, 11-7 on Friday, 9-5 on Saturday. Will be closed on Sunday due to the holiday on Monday. Manager thinks 2 days should be enough time to do a swap. No stall reservation necessary, first come - first serve, and Fridays typically don't get busy until 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon.

I evacuated th AC today, so we won't have to worry about a leak, since this is a military base and very haz-mat conscious.

Xophertony · Posted: Sat Feb 11, 2006 2:33 pm Post subject:

how much the AC evac run ya?

ALSO: if anyone else from p-town wants to help i'll glady drive ya!
i will probably be leaving the portland area around 9AM. al hasse, i will need the address of the military base since i will be ariving around noon-2PMish depending on traffic. so i will have to meet you guys there, allready in progress.

do the "stalls" have lifts? i assume all have air. and i assume there are also all manner of tools available.

Xophertony · Posted: Sat Feb 11, 2006 11:50 pm Post subject:

near bremerton. if ian posts up he might be able to house people at his place. .. wait, does he still live with "momy & daddy"?

yeah, cool i'll give ya a ride up. gas money? i don't know, what you can afford. if we take the six it won't be so bad. probably a tank up and one back. the GTA might be more like 3 tanks total.

so al, you can house quasi as well? and quasi, i will be leaving friday morning (9 am-ish), probably not coming back until satarday night or maybe sunday afternoon, you don't have work or anything? where do i picK you up? i'm coming from hillsboro area.
