afternnoon all. Anyone? Serious lack of action around here lately, or maybe I haven't been around. Should try to organise another social event. Am trying to get some tiime off work soon (stress leave), so If I get a couple of weekends off, I will try to organise a luncheon or cruise or something.

I am thinking of finding a location where we can all park in a group with heaps of space, everyone bring their tools and expertise and we just have a day where everyone is together and anyone who needs help with their cars (mechanically, stereo, electrics...) can ask, so we can all hopefully learn something from each other and get some free work done on our cars.

If we find a park with BBQ facilities, bring lots of beer, I think it would make a good day out.

Of course I am relying a lot on the good will of our more mechanically minded members... I will bring my friend Alex, who does car electrical work.

Just want to get an idea of interest before I post anything in events section.

Do you think most people will go for it? It would be really bad if we organised it and no one who knows anything turned up. If there was only one person doinh the work it would also be unfair, and everyone would be standing around with nothing to do.

If it happens we would have to confirm certain people, and have a rough agender.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
