    True to my word, I've organized the meet in full. Please leave a comment and/or donation on my site (below) so I have an idea of who's showing up, and invite as many fun people as you can think of to join us ([single] ladies especially). If there are any questions, concerns, or suggestions, send me an email at drummingpariah 'at' gmail.com. If you don't know how to get to Anza, email me and I'll send you detailed directions and give you my cell number so you'll be sure to make it. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
     
    Here's the link for the official info:

    Please, please, please, leave a comment if you're coming, and if you aren't going to bring anything, donate $5 (or whatever you can afford) so I can pick up supplies ahead of time.

    We apparently have blogs over here now. Although I already have one here:
    http://car.scrapper-site.net (URL subject to change) I'm curious to see how the vBulletin blog system works. Here's post #1!
     
    I purchased an s30, which was supposed to be delivered today but has been postponed due to technical difficulties. It should show up tomorrow, if all goes well.
     
    Basics:
    72 240z
    l24, bad starter (at least)
    stock 5spd
    stock r180
    stock brakes
    flat black (except for rust spots)
    a pair of rust issues
    bolt-on roll bar
    4 flat tires
    no seats
    broken headlights
    stock wiring
    no title (no information at all in the DMV database for the past 7 years) Immediate plans (this week):
    Install this pile of parts:

    with different wheels for those tires (you'll see)
    Install my new(to me) l28et (anybody have suggestions, threads I should read, or sites I should visit before diving in?)
    Inspect the clutch and address the immediate problem of it not engaging
    Inspect the brakes and address immediate problems
    Inspect suspension and address immediate problems
    Change all the fluids everywhere
    Bolt down the roll cage
    Get a Xenon/BRE front end for it (if you know someone who's selling one, LET ME KNOW!)
    Re-route the ignition wiring so I don't have to have a key made. I don't like keys, by and large. I've been thinking about exhaust, and would like some input. Should I do a single side-dump through the driver's side fender or run something all the way back to a motorcycle can or two?
     
    Pics of my $500 project to come as soon as it's here.
     
    (yes, this was in the members projects area, but I forgot other people can't post there)
