So there it is, the grand list. It seems like alot but it really isnt. The car just needs to be safely on the road, i can do the other shit later on, right now its just the necessities. But heres why i made the thread. I need help.

Honestly, im going to be working from literally friday morning till monday night. I already arranged with Sid and im sleeping in a tent in his parking lot each night until this car is done. I plan on working until 3-4am each night until its on the road safely. Im not asking for people to stay the whole time, but any and all help will be appreciated. I will buy food and such for said people. This car just NEEDS to be on the road monday night for work tuesday morning.

Thank you whoever can

I'll be around saturday once I wake up probably sunday too, provided my car decides to start.

i'll call you sunday about helping on monday.

kk, thanks guys, hopefully i can bust my ass enough to have it on the road sundayish and just clean it up monday

Wouldnt it be best to start with the brakes, and complete that. Then the steering column electrical issue. Then go from there? Those are the two biggest things keeping it from being a running and driving car thats 100% legal.

Oh I know, everythings getting ordered thursday morning, including all the brake stuff and a new steering lock mechanism.so the rest of the stuff I can do until it arrives friday afternoon

Okay. Im just sayin, you can drive a car without clean door cards and a shitty sunroof, you cant drive a car without brakes, working lights, wipers, and a transmission that goes into first gear.

Yup, everythings gettin done in a priority order, and the sunroof is pretty important, the seal is half missing so its a hole in the roof

So whos coming friday? anyone? And cory i can pick you up if your car doesnt start, i need at least one other person there to keep me sane

I might as well do that instead of go to the meet...

So Ill be there friday during normal meet hours. Maybe earlier depending on how hard life decides to fuck over my afternoon.

Oh yeah, and let me know what tools or other shit I should bring. Are you going to be there all day friday or are you working during the day? If you know you are going to need something I can leave it outside my garage on thursday night and you can get it on the way to Sid's.

what does this power conist of 45 horses?

lol no, its a completely built 8v, if im thinking optimistically, after the catless headers, i wouldnt be surprised if i was near 120-30hp


and matt, ill literally be there from friday morning until monday night. Im sleeping in a tent in sids parking lot overnight. Thats how serious im taking this lol, if i go back and forth between milford and branford ill shoot myself
