Sorry for the "Monthly Meeting Hijack" ... I figured if there were early definite plans laid down we may be able to up the attendance some.
This past weekend I visited the "Gypsy Road Brewing Company" (1105 East Mount St. in Kernersville). Looks like a nice place to hang out and the owner said...
Initially the plan was to sell my 80 so the $$ could go towards getting my wife a new car. Life happened and one week later the school I was teaching at announced they were closing and we were out of a job ... so I guess the 80 is still for sale.
If you have questions send me a text and I will...
Prefer early model (93-94) to prevent me from needing to swap drive plates but will consider late models. Don't need inner axles.
Thanks,

I mentioned in another thread how I was pretty much done with cars & coffee type events, but I have to say when a few of us went to this event last year we were impressed. We chatted then about how different it was compared to others and how nice it would be to have an ONSC showing next time...
Brent (almost 8) mentioned at dinner that he would like to have his own website. After extracting more info from his brain what we learned is he wants a place he can share ideas and perhaps chat with other kids. All of this boils down to the parent in me thinking this is a good idea ...
Not really anything new here that you can't find in the 80's tech section. Just some documentation of the journey to get rid of the tick-tick-tick in my current motor and, once the new engine is in, my "2 Week" endeavor into adding some boost via turbo.
I will edit in pictures as time allows...
Triad Area July Gathering
The Triad area July meeting is on track to be slightly different. Rather than a Tuesday evening restaurant meeting we plan to hold a "pot luck" type event. This first post will be edited to reflect changes in event details.
The quick details:
Who: We would like to...
URE: Tuesday, Aug 4th.
An outing for the self-employed, unemployed, or soon to be unemployed and you just don't give a phark.
Plan is to get in as many trails as possible but concentrate on the "D" trails.
Meet at Outpost 9:00 to help beat the heat. Bring lunch and lots of fluids.
All rigs...
The last Greensboro Cars and Coffee for the year is on Nov 15th. The 40 just got some sexy new exhaust pipes installed so may try giving her a shine and coming out. Perhaps a "Triad" regional meeting for lunch if there is enough interest.

Figured someone here would have a recommendation .... I'm trying to refurb an old .22 for my brother in law. Not a collector item but belonged to his grandfather .... a sentimental thing I'm guessing we all have.
Short story ... he brought it to me in awful shape. Water stained stock...
There are several that already are in the know about Jason's latest project; many hours spent on a frame-off resto to a square bezel 40. The rig was unvailed yesterday and he sent a 4 year old straight to the moon with excitement.
There really is solid goodness out there and, I have to say...
A small group is going down on Thursday, June 13, if it is dry. We can meet at Outpost at 8:30, depart at 9:00.
Post here if you would like to join up so we know to look for you.
We will plan route according to group comfort level.
Watch for weather, will cancel if it is soggy.

There used to be a more carefree time when every Memorial weekend some friends would climb into a Suburban and drive to Indy for Carb Day, downtown parades, and 200 laps of listening to AJ Foyt cuss out whoever was in his cockpit on the scanner. Then came families and that certain amount of...
This really belongs in the 80-tech section but opted just to share with "family" instead. JFZ80 and I both had slightly bent rear lower control arms, wanted to make a pinion angle correction, and to add some strength. Below are a couple pics of the process.
costs: 4 bushings were about...
My wife and I are selling a property where my shop was. A wonderful 30' x 60' metal 3-bay with 12 ft ceilings and tall doors. Our plan now is to build a second garage at our house which will require downsizing and adhering to some HOA guidelines. Maximum footprint size can be about 28' wide x...
Low on the priority "fix" list but is still a fun puzzle. When searching I didn't find anyone else with the same issue:
Vehicle: '94 80
More than half the time when I turn on the headlights (switch in the low beam position) the headlights come on but the driver side appears to be splitting...
Good morning.
Does anyone in the Raleigh Area have a spare starter Jason (FZJ80) can borrow until he can get home and get a contact kit installed in his?
He doesn't have mud access right now but can text him at 336-471-7176. He is not stranded in that he has a borrowed ride but would...
Need the cover for the window switches on driver side of a dark brown interior fzj80 ... do not need switches, but do want all the plastic tabs intact.

If you have one please PM shipped price.
Thanks.
