I might have to pull some favours next weekend to ensure your guys ass wooping.

Post by: red snapper on July 30, 2003, 12:22:47 PM: The only way youll make it there with your car is if your pushing it in.

Post by: James Buchan on July 30, 2003, 03:54:38 PM: The only thing I'll be pushing is the redline :rockon:

You do have a big role of duct tape for when your car blows up right?

Post by: red snapper on July 30, 2003, 04:11:47 PM: Ill just have to take the tape off of your car,thats holding your fenders on.

Post by: James Buchan on July 30, 2003, 04:38:30 PM: No tape, balsa wedges

Post by: red snapper on July 31, 2003, 10:26:43 AM: Hey Stephan, do you still have that dual port motor in the background? James might need it to get his car home on a certain Friday night. :rolleyes:
Title: It's Ghia Hunting Time!
Post by: James Buchan on July 31, 2003, 11:03:38 AM: I'm sure I can use your trailer if I break something whooping your ass, after all it's the only way your ghia gets anywhere so it will be there....
Title: It's Ghia Hunting Time!
Post by: Geoff on July 31, 2003, 11:25:55 AM: Speaking of trailors, i'm planing on blowing up my Trans at the races that night. Anyone got a spare trailor? Maybe after Brian tows James home he can do the same for me:-)
Title: It's Ghia Hunting Time!
Post by: red snapper on July 31, 2003, 11:31:00 AM: James, I will be there WITH car, Im a little concerned if you will be there WITH your car. I wont take my car off the trailer for anyone though, Exept to teach someone a little lesson. Geoff I have a funny feeling that your tranny wont be the only one going BOOM!

Post by: James Buchan on July 31, 2003, 12:00:32 PM: So you admit that you have a trailer queen.....

Title: It's Ghia Hunting Time!
Post by: James Buchan on August 01, 2003, 10:45:24 AM: Brakes are done, I just didn't like the fact that I had to disassemble stuff to get them to work.
Title: It's Ghia Hunting Time!
Post by: red snapper on August 01, 2003, 11:28:48 AM: Glad to hear you fingered out the problem. so, whats next? Is that motor in yet? 14 more days and counting.
Title: It's Ghia Hunting Time!
Post by: James Buchan on August 01, 2003, 11:58:33 AM: Tie rods go in tmrw, then the front end is complete, Replace some old rubber with Urethane and then the engine goes in. Then just a matter of bolting on the fenders, seat, etc...
