What are you doing to prepare for Reading?
I no longer have my SVX, but its a pleasure to see you all (..ok most of you ) and see how some familiar cars have changed, some have been kept beautiful, and others saved from the brink of annihilation!
This will be my 8th Reading, and my 4th without a SVX. Though my SVX is gone, its still nice to make the trip, even if you make us non-SVXers park in a different section! What are you doing to prepare for Reading? Buttoning up some last minute mods? Taking care of some maintenance? Getting that engine bay cleaned up? Giving your SVX a deserved detail? (I'll be giving the V70 a well-deserved cleanup, and picking up some liquid provisions for my two-night stay in Morgantown!) See you there!

Re: What are you doing to prepare for Reading?
I have been working night and day on "Jade".
She is the biggest project that ANYONE has comissioned me to do. As a result of this HUGE project/modificatuion I probibly will not be able to dragrace my Claret as I will probily will have to scavange parts from Her to make Jade run. Jades parents, Tom and Melissa have spent/invested a huge/sizeable amount of monies to crerate a VERY special SVX that we hope to present to youse guys at Reading. I hope that She will be ready, but if not ...It sure has been a valient effort!

Re: What are you doing to prepare for Reading?
I've got too much to do if I want to bring both svxs or even just one. I am busy every weekend this month with different activities and with a new job it makes it difficult to get the svxs prepared.
What I need to do: -deep clean on the claret -replace fender on pearl -change oil on pearl -fix and or replace exhaust on pearl (from killer tomato) -replace some bolts -more cleaning -there's more I'm sure. I just don't remember at this time. Not too much. Hopefully I can get Killer Tomato up on jacks so that I can take the exhaust off. That will be tough since I need to move it before I can jack it up. (front wheel is bent badly). Oh and I still need to book a room for Sat night.

Re: What are you doing to prepare for Reading?
Well...I was planning on driving the Yellow, since it is an SVX meet....but I suppose I could Drive FrankenWedge and claim it as the "Test Mule" for the SVX that Subaru built
(But the Yellow Looks better)

New wheels and tires
Tune up/maintenance New interior lighting New brakes and rotors Nevin's rear sway bar Dents and dings fixed New paint Headlight polish Hopefully getting my fogs straightened out (Right Tom?) And clean her up real pretty, of course I'm really excited for this one. She might actually be "show" worthy this year.

Re: What are you doing to prepare for Reading?
I'll be there mike. Just trying to decide if I want to bring both svxs. Mainly trying to decide if I want to spend the extra gas money. I guess it will depend on how much work gets done to Stay Puft aka the pearly.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look for it. BTW what did you mean by out0gassing. Obviously a typo but what were you trying to write?

Re: What are you doing to prepare for Reading?
I have the feeling I'll probably be bringing Christine this year instead of my Silver Bullet. Since I haven't picked her up yet (I'm driving Ton's Pearlie now since my silver needs inspected) I don't know what condition she's in.
Hopefully, the previous "borrowers" have kept her nice and clean for me..... I don't know if I can make the "custom" name tags I have made in the past -- my day job is killing me (I'm working 7am -6pm M-F temporarily) and I'm not sure I have access to a color printer that works. Also, my laptop crashed several months ago and I have to see if I can find the template. I'll see what I can do. Anyway, name tags or no, I still plan on being there. After all, it's my only vacation!
