PostSubject: September Tech Day   September Tech Day EmptySun Aug 15, 2010 5:46 pm

I would like to make our Tech Days a monthly deal. Maybe even an unofficial monthly meet.

Brad if you can set up a poll for what day in September folks want a tech day that would be great.

Options are:

Sat. 9/4
Sun. 9/5
Sat. 9/11
Sun. 9/12
Sat. 9/18
Sun. 9/19
Sat. 9/25
Sun. 9/26

I think we'll set up a poll every month for the next months date. So the day with the most votes by the end of August here will be the next tech day!

Poll is added.. I left out 4th and 5th due to Bug-O-Rama

So far since I am the only one offering a shop area it will be held here in Alta sierra.

As far as what the tech will be its up to you and what you want to do.

Basicilly it a day were we can get together and work on our rides. If your in need of a tune up lets do it, if you need fluid changes, etc.

Last time we did trans and engine oil change and eliminating odd noises on Brads car.

Its a day to get done what needs or you want to get done with the company of other VW fans. If we have 3 heads working on finding an odd noise it'll be found that much faster for example.

Also there are some folks that have never worked on their own car before, weather it be lack of knowledge, tools, etc. With this wonderful economy someone may not have the funds to have a car fixed....... now you can do it yourself for just the price of parts. On tech days you can come out and learn and/or teach "how to repair/work on" our cars.

Any other questions just let me know Very Happy

Well once we get a date set that could be a great project. I've got room for the hole group (for a day) if need be.


So lets get somemore votes tallied up

I "might" be able to attend on the 12th for a little while to meet more folks. No work for me needed that I can think of but would visit to say hi like I did last time. The rest of the month is a wash for me but the 12th, in the morning, I may be able to come spend an hour or so.

If it's the 12th, I will not be there.



Even though I voted for another date, I was thinking the 11th because after the tech day, we could cruise down for the NAG meet. But perhaps another time.

Any experience with door hinges? I am in serious need of replacing some old sagging door hinges, but I am a little weary of the replacement in getting everything lined up again.

Not sure if that falls into the realm of 'Tech' but it is something I wouldn't mind sharing. Surprised

Also I am missing several pieces of the driver's side window, scraper, etc. Since I am new to this body stuff, I would not mind coming up with a list of the missing pieces to order.

I'll bring the beverages...

Of course, this is assuming my rebuild goes in this weekend and everything runs. Shocked

sounds like a little project. we should be able to handle it no problem. hows the hinge mount area as far as rust. I had to tak weld my bug to get hinges not to sag.
if you have any catalogs look through those and order what your missing. if not come by the shop I have a Mid America catalog you can look at. I would recommend JBugs for any rubber. its a little pricy sometimes but they provide german rubber with LIFETIME warranty. well worth the extra $$$

I take it there is no tech day this Sunday since our resident tech location king is moving stuff from home to home?

Curious is all. I had only planned to show for a short time in the AM anyway before I have to get some chores done but would have been nice to meet more folks if it was still on.

More than likely I will not be able to make it as I have things I have to do Sunday before Monday comes but have a small window of time in the AM if at all. If I have a few minutes in the AM I may pop over but don't count me as a for sure. I will keep an eye here and if it appears other are showing up, I may drive the Thing over for a few. For a future tech session, I may bring the Thing and see if anyone there is a electronic guru. New to me Thing and the driver side blinkers don't work so may seek assistance with that debugging. Twisted Evil

If I don't make it Sunday for a few, enjoy your time to those that do show. I made last tech session and a quick drop-by ended up being more like 4 hours there. It is always nice to meet folks.

More than likely I would not be able to show but was keeping an eye open here and if folks were there, I would maybe stop by in the AM before my day gets more hectic. So, don't count on me in other words. If I see some other folks are going and you will be doing it, if I can I will stop by and say hi.

The October one though I may actually have something to get help with. Cool

It is great that we can have a group of people who can help each other out.
It would be nice to have a tech day down in the valley for the people that live here.
If anybody has the place to do it. It would be nice to set something up.

I have a bus that is running rough/rich and also need to track down two wiring problems (blinker, aux heat fan, oil pressure idiot light). Also have a bug that's running rich. Sundays work best for me as I don't have to juggle other things. I'll check here tomorrow morning to see if it's been called off. I'll PM my phone number too.
