I'd settle for those 3 Austin. I can get some crappy tires put on 2 of them and have temporaries when I trash the tires on the rear now. Any chance on you showing up to the April 1st meet?

And Crit, if you could grab one of those phonedials, I could buy it off you at the next meet. Then with the 3 from Austin I'd have a complete spare set.

And Ray, where the heck in NC did we go to? 4 People have asked me and all I can think of is Asheville...

You have ~3k views and/or ~300 posts to catch up and we're not standin' still

Maybe I should stop posting and viewing here, I'm helping the competition. Oh well, can't help it.

Tim don't worry we will never catch up with the crossroads club. Help us out and keep on posting your good stuff, Georgia high tech corridors, altered alternators and stuff like that.

It will be good to see the new folks and new cars at the April 1st OGTA!

In the mean time, looks like Stu is up to his old tricks:

Austin, the hubs with calipers, rotors, and hardware would probably run about $35 each, but it takes some arguing at the counter. They always try to charge me for a loaded spindle, which it's not, but it's usually $35.

Realize too, that the rear hubs are 4-lug. There's a vert with 5-lug rears on the yard, but I can't remove them. The half-shaft nut is off, all the screws are out, and it's still hung up on a bushing insert on each side. If someone wants to have at them, they're ALMOST removed. I can only help you with the fronts on the new car, if it's still there.

If you're cool with that, let me know and I'll swing by for the hubs and phonedial later in the week. I've been getting a lot of help lately with my "GSL-SE in a box" project so I need to get my goodwill quota back up.

Great another SA! And a posting virgin at that! Be good to see you Andy and your shiny new 7 (well the windshield trim at least, I need to see how that's done).

Michael we can so some donut contests in Jeffrey's parking lot if you want. I'm not sure my tires are ready for that but Mike will probably take you on.

Crit, I never did find that rad mount, I guess I still need to get rid of more junk before I can expect to actually find anything. Easy on Stu, he looks like he's having lots of fun.

Next OG@TA meeting in 6 days, April 1, 7:00 pm at Jeffery's in Suwanee.

Yes i realized only the fronts are 5. That will do for now, as im kind of just getting it all ready i guess.
If you can get everything for the fronts for 70 (i guess 35 a side), and you have the Time to do so, please do as i will make it worth while! And i'll have to owe you one in the goodwill department lol.

I may not be there in my car depending on exactly what happened today after work (see: Small fire).
No damage was done, but where the wires go into the secondaries it started a small fire, but if i disconnect it, the fire stops and the car simply smokes like a train.
I'll make the meet either way, but might be in something other than my FC

Damn i love these cars.

I dont think I'll be able to make it guys. Well I might, but I'm not entirely sure.

I want to buy those phonedials off of Austin and show off my model FC I got in the mail yesterday, but then there's this girl I've been hanging out with recently who I'm really into, and asking her out on April fools would be the best anniversary ever . I dont know though, there's still a few days to decide.

Crit- Collin snagged a phonedial for me at PAP. So disregard that last post . Now I can finally have a set of back ups...

And Austin- could you fit those 3 wheels into whatever car you'd be driving? If I come, I'd be glad to buy them off of you. And if not, maybe I could give the money to Collin so he could get them, or maybe I could just meet you some other time. Whatever you want, no rush.

Now... off to post in the Mountain Thread...

Too late, man. Collin got the left-rear. I pulled the left right for you. In the meantime, someone ran off with my tool bag, so I have absolutely no metric wrenches or sockets here at the house. Off to Sears to drop $230. Karma can kiss my rosy ***.

The phonedial wasn't but $14, but I told you I'd get it and did. It'll be at the meet on Tuesday. I don't need a phonedial, so someone can pick it up for you, or it'll be in the dumpster.

They just casually grabbed it and walked? That sucks... And sorry I didn't get back to the thread sooner once I found out Collin got the wheel for me. He picked it up Thursday and I didn't have time to get to the computer until last night. I guess I can still buy it off of you though, because an extra spare would be nice to have. If I dont come, I'll get Collin to buy it and I can just get it from him later. Thank you though

Welp, the FB will not be there because I'm an idiot. Was jacking up the front so I could work on an exhaust leak, 15 seconds of work total. Jack slipped and crushed my oil cooler. Messed up my new radiator too, but nothing big. Nothing is leaking surprisingly, but still. I'm $@#$ng pissed (at myself).

Anyone got a 1st gen air/oil cooler for sale?
