I have been thinking that I will drop my car off at DMD the week before the DIY and pick it up on the way through to you guys on the weekend so hopefully that will save me a trip

Sounds like a plan

August sounds good to me. For camping you'd want to be rugged up that time of year though. It might be a little milder but think sub 6 degrees at night and if theres a wind the wind chill factor can bring it down to 0. I'm saying I've got plenty of floor space and an oven people can use (I don't live far from Pete) for headlights. I'll bring over my jack and stands and some tools as well. I'm standing by what I said on the weekend as well. I'll organise some food for the night if people decide to come up and stay the night.

My list:
Tune TPS
adjust idle?!
fix leak (fogging up) in drivers side headlight.
try and source the bearing noise - hopefully just swap out the air-con compressor.

oh and sophia you realise the road you went home on the other day goes the other way up to toowoomba, it would be close to 100km shorter than going through Brisbane. But I'd love to see your car after DMD do some work on it too so that sounds like a great idea

haha just my luck, long way around everything and getting lost

If I can get onto pete I will hopefully be down the weekend before the DIY to drop the car off at DMD and cruise to Toowoomba with Jason who offered to help and go to WOWs to get my stereo, then coming back the following weekend when the bars are done and head out to the DIY

Just make sure dmd fit into this plan sophia, like any panel shop, they are not known for the ability to keep to time frames.

Yeah thats what Im mostly worried about, but hopefully if i give them almost 2 months notice it should plan out

August is also sounding fine for me. Is the agreed upon date the 14th? I'm fine to accommodate as many people as I can in the house if they're willing to stay overnight. My house mate is a manager at the Pizza Hut just up the road, so food shouldn't be an issue.

well, since no one else has thrown fwd any dates. 14th of august it is

alright, now the list of who's coming:

1. pete_gpx (i think it's a given for you lol)
2. BorepYano (yang)
3.

tentative at this point.. will have to see closer to the date

1. pete_gpx (i think it's a given for you lol)
2. BorepYano (yang)
3. I8A4RE

me, but wont have anything wrong with the car though

You're still welcome to come around, drink, and shout 'you're doing it wrong!' from the corner of the shed, Matt.

If this is the date then i will write it up at work. I'll allow another 2 weeks to see if this is defiantly the date
And are we planning for a 2day jobbie (weekender) because.... tbh theres a lot of sh*t to be done, and we will be standing around for half of it so........ I think we need it... so put next to your name what you are up for.

and we can always use another set of hands... or a working/whole car for the pizza runs lol

No chance we could do this on a Thursday and Friday lol? Instead of the weekend?
Probably pushing it but instead of the 14+15 do the 12+13th?

Bugger!

Just the reason that Im coming on the 14th is for a family birthday which I found out I have to be there for the whole time

no chance of making it earlier? or pushing it back one week? pleaseeee

lol u could just drop your car off and drop in to check up on it whatever im sure noone is going to steal your car

yeah but I dont expect you guys to work on it without me there, sure id LOVE that but its rude and half the fun is hanging out with you

but If the date is set and you guys dont mind having a huge project car lol by all means its yours for the weekend LOL

We can push to either side of that week as long as pete doesnt mind.
