Holiday get together, Mod party

Hi folks, late getting this out. Holiday get together will be on Dec. 14th at 2:00. La Verne and I will provide dessert and coffee. (BYOB) Heated garage will be open to what ever work you can get done in an afternoon. Floor jacks, jack stands and most hand tools available. Bring your parts and any special tools with you and will try to work it in.
PM me for address.


ADDED
Looks like we have about 15 to 20 people so far and lots of mods. We are providing dessert and coffee. Bring anything else you would like, I am sure it will be consumed.

Cookie,

+2 here -- we'll get with you closer to the event to get address, details, etc., and to advise whether we have mods for the list. Looking forward to it.

I'm in. 19mm rear sway bar install is on my wish list. Do you have the tools needed for this mod?
What can I bring to eat/drink?
I'll check back for address.
Thanks,

Fritz

Do we have a total head count Cookie? Especially on what's needed to be brought. I can bring some assorted pops.

Also, who's bring what to be installed?


I'm bringing a graphic that I need a little help with because of the complexity of length and curvature.

Still +2 here.

Only mod is an Ian auto-up circuit board (been told it's a 5 minute job, at best, but I prefer install by someone who has done one before -- which disqualifies me).

We can bring a dish, veggie, dessert, whatever -- just let us know.

Cookie, when you have a moment, please PM me at <speedpedal@aol.com> with directions and a phone number. Thanks.

Cookie,
I'll need address/phone as well. I can make a big pot of chili (not very holiday - I know) if that's of interest. Please let me know if that's what you want me to do.
As for installs - rear sway bar, PIAA 540 fog lights with Outmotoring bumper mount brackets, switch from summer wheels/tires to winter wheels/tires.
Realize may not be able to get all this done.

Got the email, Cookie -- thanks. Sounds like everyone has done the auto-up, so should be no problem. Mark us down as bringing a veggie.

MiniMoic, I don't have a puller or the belt tool that are needed to replace the SC pulley.

Anyone else that is planning to attend have these tools?

Sorry for the late reply. We plan on being there too. Hopefully we are all feeling well - been a rash of colds here lately bogging us down.

I need to talk to Katie to find out what we will bring for a dish.

Certainly willing to help with/do the auto-up install (it really is easy).

Sounds like fun. Just like last time.

Cookie, we're still planning on making it, but we will be delayed -- a former colleague passed away and visitation services have been scheduled out-of-town the same time as your get-together. We'll see you 3:30 ish -- keep the chili on the burner. Thanks.

Sorry to hear, Scott. We look forward to seeing everyone! Cheryl has been working all day on a special cake for the celebration. I must say, I'm impressed (but I am a little biased)!
