Super short notice, but it's all happening super fast anyway...

Darth will be in my garage tomorrow and I will be working on the yellow swapping the bolt on bits across.

Should you want to come by for some "bits", or just to hang out and pull parts for ****s and giggles, shoot me a PM for my address.

If tomorrow doesn't play out, don't worry, I'll probably have another strip day in November. But tomorrow will be locals first crack at bits if they want em...

Cheers
-Phil

What is your ideal time for the hootenany to get under way?

to be honest, I'm just going to be in the garage working on both cars for the duration of the day, so I'm not set on a time...
But if it makes it better for people, I'd say show up post 1:00 and before 4:00...decent window...but it's low key, cooler with beers, playing with cars.

Cheers it was good to meet you Phil.

Darth now looks like when Luke took Vader's helmet off in Return of the Jedi.

Interior went in this evening except for the rear back rests and the lady likes the improvements to her ride.

Sorry that I missed this, my trip to Point Roberts to pick up parts and safety stuff for the race turned into almost a full day, got back home mid afternoon and didn't feel like making the trip to poco anymore.. Was really looking forward to meeting some of you guys. Glad you got a lot of stuff done!

No worries, it went surprisingly well...super helpful having Jason there, much appreciated the help! If there is anything you want from the car, list it and I'll let you know if it's still available...

Good times...and still so much more to take off of the car...

Anybody want a motor?
15g?
Steering rack?
Newish Control Arms?
etc...etc...

If I have it...you can come get it...or maybe ship the smaller items...maybe I should start a for sale thread? ;-)
