Tech Day December 1st

Looks like the 1st of December will be the first Sat. of the month, so that is tech day.


5  10am -3pm  Rain or shine.

You don't have to work on your car, you can just come and hang out. Water or air cooled are welcome. Not driving your VW in the winter? That is fine too, just come by and BS for a bit!

Sorry, gonna have to miss this one.

hah, i drive past there nearly every day when i go see my woman.... is it 420 friendly there or should i just get baked before =P

can we get my ghia on the rack want to check out heather stuff

Who's heather and why do you want to check out her stuff?

Got the 411 on the 420. LOL You can bring it if you want but you have to use it out front.

Yah, you can have the rack but you have to get here kind of early to get on it. Either that or we will have to play musical cars with other VW's that show up first! That's the only down fall to the rack, only one way to get to it.

Oh, an I can attest to a great working heater! Last year I bought a Mr. Buddy heater because the bus heater just didn't get warm enough. This year we discovered a plugged screen in the heater tube (main tube in chassis). We tried to clean it off but it broke all to pieces. Figuring that one side was plugged, I went ahead and knocked out the other side too. Tell you what, I haven't broke out the Buddy heater yet! I get plenty of heat now. I even have to turn it down! Moral of the story, when you have your car on the lift, check your chassis tubes for blockage!

Hey Lonny,

Any chance you can bring your stuff to fix Cody's soft top that day??? I know it's not a VW but I won't tell! LOL

kim sure

I'll be there, I'm always there. LOL

Yah, you think everyday is a tech day! LOL

Ya I need to wrench on my car bad...Kyle

I too plan to join the festivities!!! Now that I am on the road again!!!

You can stop now? Great!!

According to the weather man it is supposed to be pretty nasty all weekend. I would like to find out if you all are still planning on coming to Tech Day? I'm not canceling it, we have the garage to be in to stay dry. I just figured if you all are planning on staying home during this storm that is coming, we would go ahead and build our paint booth so we can shoot Dewey's bus.

So, who is coming no matter what the weather is?

im out. i need to go out of town for my daughter

Ok, well I guess that means the lift if free if anyone else is still coming! LOL

Andy needs to change the brakes on DD, but if no one is showing up we can do that in my garage to free up space for Dewey and Charlotte. I like how you gonna shoot Charlotte...LOL

I was still planning to show...if nothing else I can help build a paint booth.

You guy's can do it over here, I was just trying to gauge interest. I just figured if people were going to wimp out because of rain, we would do something else. LOL So come on over.

Good times working on DD's brakes and Pete's brakes. Thanks Kim

Your all welcome. I really enjoy having everyone over!!

Here are some pics from today. I forgot to take pics of DD's brake job. Finally remembered when Pete was on the lift. LOL



Lita was the bleeder, Andy was the flash light holder, and Breck was manning the pumping of the brake pedal. (not seen in pic) LOL



Ended up having to replace a wheel cylinder.



"No, I think it goes here!"



It ended up pouring down rain at one time and I managed to get this shot of DD and Ingred.

Thanks to Kim and Bob for hosting!!! A BIG thanks to Lita and Andy for doing all the work on Pete......All I did was pump the brakes!!!! Brakes feel like new again~~~~ thanks for letting me munch on some vittles and drink some soda!!!! I had a great time.

No worries Breck.. Glad we got everything done and Pete rolling like new.

No worries Breck. We were in the brake mode after working on DD's brakes. Good times

sorry i missed it for sure, but hard to drive with no wipers. its been a boring week sittin at home in the rain =/
