Yet another trip
Alright, I'll keep this simple since I'm sure most of you get sick of me posting up these trips. Going to be making a trip to pick up an SVX and do some work on a couple people's SVX. I'll be leaving either the 22nd or 23rd of August, spending a couple nights in the Scranton, PA area, weekend of the 26th and staying til the 31st in New Jersey, then traveling down to Charleston, SC where I'll be until either the 9th or 10th of September. There is a small chance of me heading down to the Pensacola area after that but I won't know for sure either way for a couple days.
Here's the route, if anything wants/needs anything large or bulky, here's a great opportunity to not have to pay shipping costs. Lots of rust free and straight Body panels/doors, glass, interior parts, engines, transmissions, etc. Last edited by 1986nate; 08-08-2011 at 04:25 AM. |

Re: Yet another trip
You're going right by me if you need a place to stay. My SVX would also like a little attention.

I'll probably swing up that way anyway, if anything for a bite to eat and over one of the nicest pearlies around. |

Re: Yet another trip
Soo, this trip is getting extended as I will also be heading down to Florida as well on this trip to do some work on a couple SVXi. As of right now, its going to be over a 4000 mile trip and probably about a month long.

Re: Yet another trip
Drive careful, man. There are rogue couches everywhere just waiting to pounce.

Ya know it's funny, I've never had an issue with much of anything on my trips, but the last east coast trip I went on for the SVX meet and whatnot in May, I ran over 2 truck tire treads within an hour of each other. Luckily on the Caravan the K frame protects everything quite a bit and I didn't have a car on the dolly since it was on the way out. Then a few weeks ago when I picked up an SVX from Duluth, saw plenty of deer. Granted, I was pretty much expecting it as I was in the middle of nowhere and it was before dawn. Hopefully no stupid couches or mattresses jumpin out in front of me. |

Re: Yet another trip
What I am wondering is what you do for a living that allows you to go on a month long adventure?
Is Scranton the closest you are coming to NY? I will probably need an A/C compressor soon......

This is how I drove the SVX home. I also have random and various pics of other trips and how loaded I've had whatever tow vehicle as well as the SVX I was pulling home. I've yet to upload any from the Reading trip but had the Caravan packed with tools, transmissions and literally, 1/2 an SVX, and then towing an SVX loaded with a ton of parts as well. Here's a link to my facebook with tons of random pictures. Some I have taken down and need to put back of random scenery from trips and whatnot. Quote:
What I do for a living is flipping cars, selling parts, and working on cars. Not many people know their way around an SVX, so I offer up services and help when I go on these trips so they basically fund themselves. I don't make a ton of money, but it helps people out and in the WI/IL area the cost of living is drastically minimal compared to most of the northeast as far as what I've heard and seen. |

Re: Yet another trip
Sweet, Scranton's only about 3 hours from Ottawa. If we do end up doing the engine thing it would be a perfect spot to meet up/exchange. Any chance you have a drivers window regulator and a set of parking brake cables?

Re: Yet another trip
If you can't meet up on the same day, the engine can sit here for a few days if needed.
And, RockAuto has new brake cables for ~$20 each.

Re: Yet another trip
That would be amazingly helpful Dave. I still need to get my hands on a passport, which could take a while. And things are all over the place at work right now.
Scranton's too far for a rental vehicle - I'd be up to my eyeballs in mileage charges. Hopefully I can borrow a Forester from my folks for the day. Mmmm... 14 hours driving!

Just keep me informed. It's looking like I'll be leaving on Sunday the 21st as of now so I'd just need a definite before then whether or not to bring another spare engine with me. You wouldn't be needing any spare sensors, coils or anything like that correct? I have a 101k long block that is complete as far as intake and exhaust manifolds (although I may pull the exh manifolds), throttle body I may pull, and missing sensors and the coils. PM me if you like and we can work out the fine details. -Looks like I may definitely be needing the upgraded rear shocks on the van. Glad I picked up a car dolly with brakes even though I'll be unloading most of the weight before picking up an SVX anyway. Just will be helpful |
