Same, dogs and GF (and possibly fancy camera?) may tag along again. Cooling system is finished, need to reassemble some associated parts and then decide if I want to tackle the intake manifold. Bolting it on isn't the hard part or the daunting part, it's routing the vacuum and PCV stuff so it doesn't look like a hack job.

As usual I have invited new people , that are going. So that's exciting , meeting fresh faces.
My Celica is still not reassembled, partially due to my extreme sloth like laziness and partially due to being too tired from the hot weather to give a **** to diagnose a HID headlight problem. Parts are on the way, should be here middle of next week, if I can get it together and it test drives fine I'll see about making it out. Otherwise I'm out, Mazda has a locked up wheel cylinder so it's only for to-from work until you know all 4 brakes are working. Just been too busy at work to get to that since it requires replacing some brake line along with it.

I'm still working on my carbonfiber doors .Up to now is looking like I will be showing up with only one install laugh.gif .
I think by now we all know things don't go as planned haha. Show up in whatever you can however you want!

I for one hope we'll hike this time. I definitely missed hiking last meet.
Still a maybe, headlights are together and bolted to the car, need to bumper and test drive tomorrow evening. It's not getting any cleanup tho, just coming all gross and buggy and dirty.

Oh yea, and the Mazda was one step forward but 2 steps back. Replaced the wheel cylinder and line section from the hose to cylinder, then when I was cleaning up to put the drum back on I found that the leading shoe on that side was starting to de-laminate from the backing. Then I just took a quick glance under the car and found my oil pan has a leak from what looks like some rust through on the upper edge of the pan. Problems to fix next week, but no extra driving until then.

You're preaching to the choir on that one, I can barely figure out how old I am most of the time. Either works for me still!
