It's been brought up before so I think a separate thread is in order.

I like the idea and I'm willing to volunteer my place for this. I have a big compressor with a bunch of airtools and space for 3 cars in the driveway and 3 in the garage (if I can get my sister to get her crap outta the 3rdd bay but this will give me a reason to push her harder). The only catch is I'm in Greeley. BUT it's on the far southwest side of Greeley. It's about 50mins to an hour from sixflags depending on traffic.

This could make it a little more diffucult but I should be able to make it.

Thats fine with me, I will bring my handtools, my car shouldnt need anything but bodywork by then, so I will be fully free to help with anything anyone wants to do. I dont mind makeing the hour drive, or I can even carpool with someone else if they are going by my way.
It might be easier to find a central place to do it, it just occured to me that my parents will be gone that entire month and I am gonna be liveing their so that house would be fine its about 20 mins away from the red rocks meet, but I can only fit one car in the garage, and work on it, 2 in the driveway, and 3 in the street, so at most we could only be working on 3 at a time, but if its to difficult to get out to you I am just in lakewood.
I dont have any air compressor access, but if we are hard up I can get welding equipment and I have an electric impact wrench. So if we need to do anything major its going to have to be at your place. I am happy to travel, but other people may or may not. Then again mattscout lives in greely too, and I know that brandon is just over in loveland, so its not too long of a drive for him. If anyone has a prefference, or another sugestion of where we could do it speak up! If someone wants my help with anything before then I can also help out, at my house or I will drive 20-30 miles without thinking twice.

Ill help, I havent done a 2.0 yet, but I have done intake mani's on other cars, just make sure you have some wd-40 or masking tape around when your ready to go. To bad we didnt acid port the mani first!

Then of course... on the other end of the border.. I have things covered here as well! I will have a garage at this end, as well as other assorted cosmetic and repair items. I will also have access to additional parts for last minute repairs, and towing if anything happens! Any additional needs you can think of for this end, please let me know, I will make sure to accomodate with everything I can!

Way to hold down the fort Kris.

93se20dohc · June 14th, 2005, 7:14 pm

Of course... gotta have our arses covered all the way around! I know the help was available when we did the Red Rocks thing... so gotta help out in all that I can... I hate seeing a downed probe or mazda.. so were not gonna let it happen!

I am not going to be able to make it. the boss switched me from nights to days. those jerks.

93se20dohc · July 4th, 2005, 5:19 am

The 9th and 10th? If this goes, let me know.. I work both days, but when i get off, I can come out and play! LOL.. it may be late, but I can make it! I might take a few hours off to get there evening time..

I am going to see how works goes, I just helped my supervisor do his resignation, which puts me in his slot! Ikes!

Troy · July 5th, 2005, 6:12 am

I might have to make it for the 9th only. My dad called today and said he might be in Limon on sunday and we haven't seen him in over a year. I"ll let you know for sure when I hear from him tomorrow.

93se20dohc · July 5th, 2005, 7:20 am

I think I may be able to swing this one, I am now replacing my supervisor, and taking his job, which allows me to have weekends off!
