August 24, 200520 yr Since I had a good turn out earlier this summer for the Meet The Coupe party. I decided to see if anyone is up for another End Of Summer Fest.Food and Good People!. But this time there is a small alterior motive...My Loyale is in need of some work that I dont trust myself in doing alone without someone there who actually knows what they are doing. I just dont have the confidence in myself to do the timing belt change without guidence.Actually my hope is to replace All the belts ,oil pump gasket,valve cover gaskets,oil pan, and crank seals. Plus his clutch is spent but I dont think anyone wants to try and tackle that. So if anyone is up for it lets get some dates up. I have a grill and will provide food. Those who were here before know its easy to find and my door is open ...and michelle ..the toilet is fixed:grin:.
August 24, 200520 yr I'm lookin at mid sept. on a saturday.... basically after sept 10th wknd. anyone else?
August 24, 200520 yr Late Sept. is not possible for me..I'll be in NJ celebrating my BDAY. CRAZY CORN & FLAMING BANANAS are a definate!
August 24, 200520 yr Cool Melis and I were just talking about this tonight, wondering when you were going to have another.
August 24, 200520 yr Close enough that I'll certainly be there. Any weekend you say is fine. But THIS weekend we invade the Pine Barrens!!!RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Connie,if you can get a flywheel for resurfacing I can load the engine crane into my car and we can all attack Bucky.Or find out if there's a shop that'll resurface the flywheel on Saturday,we can have it out by 10-11 AM. We can take the engine out and do everything on your list....you cook. Are you serious about laying down the cash for all those parts at once?Don't forget,I get a discount on parts from the dealer.I'll help you out if you need the good stuff.There's always Advanced,etc. for the belts,clutch,etc...At Bucky's age,maybe that's not such a bad idea,but I know how you feel about the car....
August 24, 200520 yr Author OK..So ...how does Sept 17th sound to everyone? Paul if I get a clutch kit..if you want I can send Tommy down with the truck for the lift so you dont have to try and wrestle that thing into your wagon.
August 24, 200520 yr 17th looks good to me.... the only wknd that is absolutely out of the question is 10/11. If Paul wants to get started early..I'll be there early.
August 24, 200520 yr what about....sept 24th or is that when melis is going to be away? I could do the 10th but I can't stay late b/c i have a chicken BBQ that I cook at on the 11th and I need to be up a little early.... Anyone?
August 24, 200520 yr Author Which Ever weekends you all see fit to work is good for me.Except the Labor Day weekend...going camping for 3 days in NY.
August 24, 200520 yr According to my schedule the 24th works for me. Anything needed? ie:paper plates, plasticware, cups, food yadda yadda
August 25, 200520 yr Author ok well....is the 24th going to work you Dave and Connie? 24th is good for me gives me alittle more time round up some parts. How is that date for anyone else??
August 25, 200520 yr 24th will work for me. Sending Tom down would be ideal!! If the weather is nice,hmmm,maybe I can but him lunch for helping me shift some stuff over to another small unit I rented right near the one with all the stuff.....hmmmm.....lemme know if he's willing.Thanks!

Paulyburger, Call me ,email me,PM me,send smoke signals..Tommy and me will be available to help you anytime you need..you know that. I just dont have cell phone signal from his house. He is having troubles with his truck right now but should hopefully be cleared up soon but who knows..its a Toyota:-\ But he is willing to help you anytime..you know he loves you:brow:
August 25, 200520 yr Author If you guys are serious about wanting to tackle the clutch I have a line on a new resurfaced flywheel and clutch kit..just need to go out and get a throw out bearing. Let me know what ya'll want to eat..if burgers and dogs are fine or if you want some chicken OR I just learned how to make some awesome chicken quesadillas
August 26, 200520 yr speaking fro myself here....burgers and dogs are good for me and michelle. It is totally up to you and Paul as to what we can tackle in a days work. Paul is the EA guru and I am just an apprentice on that stuff. Did anyone say anything to Andrew and subafreak about this? I know freak is a mechanic somewhere and would be a huge asset to have for this work detail.
August 26, 200520 yr Thanks Connie!! I know I recently saw a throw out bearing alone on eBay.Should be one at one of the local stores.
September 2, 200520 yr Author Just a bumpity bump...and had to say it......FLAMIN BANANAS:banana: and jolly jumpin .....well...Melis and Michelle know what I am talking about:brow: . Going camping till Monday talk to ya'll soon though
September 3, 200520 yr Yeah sounds like a date to me. Anyone know how to grill corn? I'll bring the corn:brow: Shouldn't be big deal to rip out the motor and hit from both sides and drop it back in, lets just make sure we will have everything we need to compleat the job........lots of beer.
September 6, 200520 yr Yup, Matt told me about this a month ago but I almost never use my private messages and I missed it...hope you guys all have fun, as of right now I'm working Maybe next time. Good luck with Bucky!
