For those that weren't there, we had a blast hanging out at the storage in Cloverdale this afternoon. Michelle and I brought a bunch of shelving and tools to stake out our space in the Fiero storage barn.
2 new members showed up to look at some tires. Dave, Tim and Rob were there also to either look for goodies or just help out. Well we get to talking about my old notchie and how I'm planning to drive it to the storage and put it on stands in front of the storage doors for it's tear down. It occured to us that some of you might want to participate. It's a great opportunity to see how these cars are put together and a good excuse to come and hang with the gang. Anyhow, just putting it out there. There's a nice concrete pad right in front of the doors of this place. No laying in the mud for us..:) Lots of room to spread out and socialize. I'm thinking one of the weekends right after the Whistler run. So in 2 or 3 weeks time. Cheers, Dawg |

Well if/when we get a confirmed date, and we can arrange a small pickup to come here, we can take my air compressor / air lines/ air tools, extensions, impact guns / ratchets and related tools from here. It will go a ton faster with lots of power tools and lots of hands. I would also recommend tryng to Pre-Sell as many parts as possible. Get lots and LOTS of pics of the car, post as many detailed shots of all the little bits. Make a list of what you really want to keep, and a list of what will be for sale and maybe even a generic rough estimate on what you want for the parts. Honestly some people want stuff but are assuming the stuff they want is too expensive so won't even bother to ask. (had it happen to me, guy had parts with Make Offer, I figured he would want at least 100 if not 150 bucks, find out later he sold it for 25) Damn I was mad for not asking. Then once someone commits to a part, put up a list of what is Pre-sold . Once the thread gets really active I can see more people showing up just for the fun of it. On a P.S. note, if we can find a way to transport parts to the locker easily my driveway is still an option. I know the locker is a great place to do it, as then nothing has to be moved. Just worried about spare to work, access to tools and such. |

To be honest, I'm not sure how much I want to get rid of. Any notchie related parts are free game. You see, the new car is the same year and has the same interior. Now with the storage room, I am tempted to keep most of it.
So if someone needs something in particular, they'll just have to ask and we'll take it from there. Jonny wanted the front nose bodywork if I remember. I would be willing to offer drinks and hot dogs for anyone that wants to just come and help out. We can make it a barbecue afternoon. Cheers, Dawg |

I was thinking about the gas line pipe between tank to filler (if it's not to rusty) ?
I may want to use that to relocate gas door (just a thought) ? Anyway I'll try to make it there ! |

Is the muffler in good shape? If so I'm interested in the
exhaust from the cat to the end. |

The Plan as of right now is to try and bring the car to storage tomorrow (Friday). But this might not be possible. If not, then some time during the weekend for sure. Most likely Sunday morning.
Danny, I will hold the exhaust for you. And Johnny, yes it has a sun roof. The Dawg |

Ok...the car has been moved. Man does that thing fly! I haven't driven it for a while. Too bad the engine is so tired now.
The plan now is to be back at the storage around 11:00AM on Sunday. I will be there with a large floor jack and some stands to get the car in the air. That would be a good time to show up for parts. Make sure I know you're coming and what parts you want to take. This is not the stripping party. It's just when I'll be there for an hour or two depending on who shows up. I took a couple videos of her last run. Can't get them out of my phone. I'll upload them as soon as I figure out this stupid phone. The Dawg |
