It was a great time... I still thing we should have put your 360 under the tent and made it the focal point. That little thing is just amazing..a superb specimen definately I will upload and post pics tomorrow ..getting ready for work now Great to meet you Joe ( fecaljet) too...you rock...and you took the load off Matt...we usually make him the butt of all our jookes. The coupe did his 600+ mile r/t journey in stride..didnt do too bad..has some troubles on the hills..but a down shift fixed that...got about 23 mpg with a borked carb..so that isnt too bad either.. Was alot of fun..was really cold sleeping at night though. Oh and a great quote from this morning : Jess " Is that a head?" me " I dont know....lets kick it and find out"

Took off work a couple hours early....Timmy ..I have a spare Brand new battery..I will bring it along just in case. Have to finish the final packing ..then we will be off See y'all sooon

I didnt do squat to the car..so I will be washing it there..Got the burgers in the freezer for safer travel and stuff..Got the radiator packed for Jim..jack stands floor jacketc etc. Going to try and get out of work alittle early tonight so I can get a nap before the drive down.. being up for 26 hours prior to todays 5 hour nap ..does not sound to promising for a pleasant 5 hour drive directly after work tonight. Just dont be suprised if I end up taking another nap in the car tomorrow once I get there. Side not ...08 Trek 4300 looks derned good on the back of the coupe

I am bringing my bike...I just took it for its first ride...OMG I am soooo outta shape.

Got mine today!!

I am waiting for the guy to open the shop to see if I can pick it up today:banana::banana: But ..I WILL be shipping mine out ...Just be nice to the old fat lady will ya?

If my Trek is ready and I get the trunk carrier..I will bring it.. Have to wait till noon today to call and see if it will be ready ( I was going to pick it up next week but the money came in)

Steve..you are not allowed to park that next to my coupe now..It is going to make my coupe look like total crap... Sweet Sweet Sweet.. Well..hopefully I will have my new mountain bike with me to show off .

I should have been working on the coupe today...but ..instead I went and bought a new mountain bike...If I can find a carrier I feel comfortable enough to put on the coupe ..I will be bringing that too I did manage to vacuum it out though...only cause a hidden spider nest decided it wanted to hatch and had baby spiders all over:-\

What are you waiting for Timmy..better get a crackin :-p

I pick up the burgers Thursday have to polish the rims and vaccuum out the car and hopefully it will be good to go

I ordered the case of the bacon jalepeno cheddar burgers this morning..will pick up Thursday ..along with buns and condiments.Might even grab a cheap carcoal grill...can never have too many cooking surfaces

They look pretty too...maybe have to get a pair for The coupe AND the Imp..:slobber::slobber:

Got the louvers done and back on today ..along with the new mudflaps and the new fuel door....Then had to drive hime around town to show him off:

Just to get everyone going..5 days till show time!

She is looking good..has come along way so far. Dont like the hood vent though..maybe a turbo hood vent ( XT-T) but ..that just doesnt look right I think

Yup..tabs are good...and in WA they go with the car not the owner.( seems wierd and foreign to me but..hey) Its insured also... I am leaving the WA plates on till after Carlisle for nostagia reasons then he gets his Classic tags. It is kinda funny watching the looks on peoples faces. Should have the louvers back on today and hope to have the rims polished up. Maybe do a little repainting of some faded stuff too.

Today I broke down and clay barred the coupe..and polished it myself since...well the money wasnt there for the detail. Needless to say ..I am very impressed....oooober smooth and actually pretty shiney... I think the only way to truely make it worthy would be a complete repaint...but I think LB ( whose name may be changing to Remy) is presentable. I have to finish up the louvers yet and put them back on but...For your viewing pleasure..a 26y/o claybarred coupe:

Happy Happy B day ...you old fart ..I will be sending you a Waffle House gift cert for the occassion:grin:

Not a chance..How many times must I state...restoration not modification...will be worth more in the long run stock.This car is too nice to butcher

Finished Polishing up the coupe...Still alot more to do but doubt it will get done Teasers

I started claybarring the coupe yesterday...so far getting a nice shine...not as happy as I want to be but I only think a repaint will fix that. I should be there around 1ish I am thinking ..maybe 2..I forget I am bringing an EA81 :-\ with no guages and 234K miles .. 300 miles..so I will be stopping frequently to double check things ( plus I have a front main leak so oil check will be in order. Insert old 80s hairband Europes song Final Countdown here

I think it looks awesome..love the look of a vehicle thats being used. Someday I will look around and see if I can find you those FOX decals from my previous life as a dirt biker

That sounds like the carb is good...have you tried hot wiring the fuel pump to a battery..take the line off and see if it runs directly wired to the battery.

If I buy the bike I am looking at and it doesnt cost too much to ship it out.. I might give the ride a try..if I can get my oober large rear in some sort of shape by then
