Your Reading Laundry List?

Well folks, it is coming down to the final weeks of preparation here at Reading. Tom, Eric, and I have been trying to squeeze in time here and there for our personal projects amidst work and other obligations.

Personally, I have committed myself to complete a ridiculous task list prior to our annual gathering.

For my Claret:
-Pick up powdercoated wheels and have Toyos mounted (Check! 3/11/09)
-Assemble Engine
-Install Windshield
-Install Engine
-Install Transmission
-Swap Wheels and Tires
-Finish Engine Cover Project
-Swap in Optima Battery
-Install HIDs
-Finish McIntosh (OEM equip from Legacy VDC) Audio Install... (maybe )
-Full Detail.

For my Ebony (if it goes)
-Align Driver door
-Re-align door glass
-Install poly diff bushings
-Full Detail

For my '93 (third string, doubt itd be coming...)
-Install cladding on left side
-Get carpet from OT at Reading?
-Clean headliner
-Install replacement rear panels
-Hope nobody looks too close at Reading!


Lets hear some "to-do" lists!

You could do as Eric had done once, and pitch a tent at Reading...




Come to think of it... I think he did that two years.

The place to stay isn't much of a problem as I have relatives in Harrisburg but the tent is a good idea as well. I just don't even have money for gas right now and tolls aren't cheap. Maybe I'll refinance my loan on my SVX

sorry for stearing this thread off in a different direction almost immediately...

Damn!

Well you can get out the white gloves if the Claret's engine is done in time!



As I had said, there is only a slight chance that the 93 will be there.

Anyone else?

My list would crash the server, or at least demand a "56k beware" disclaimer.

If nothin' else, I'd like to remove my cone marks from last season!

The Beutiful Naviguesser brings way too many changes of clothes to worry about a laundry list. Thank God women's shoes can't be washed.
