Anybody working on their car this weekend? DC/MD/NoVA

[lumbercis]

And wants to get together? I need to change my oil and take a look at a few residual issues related to my just completed Caldina swap. I could do it at my new apartment but Im not sure how much of a dim view my neighbors will take of seeing a rusty old car up on jackstands in their nice enclosed parking area.

If you know anything about speed sensors or wiring in general, and/or idle issues on gen3/4s so much the better.

Of course im willing to help out with whatever you've got going on.

Although its been rainy forecast looks good for Saturday.

Tonight all night ..but your probably too far... You going to hit up our meet on the 22nd?

[lumbercis]

Yeah, I'm planning on being at the meet. But my car is fucking embarrassing right now. It runs great with the new swap, but the flex section on the stock exhaust is rusted out so I have a nice gurgling exhaust leak. Not to mention the rust behind the rear wheel wells.

Would it be ghetto to get a new exhaust before getting the rust fixed?

I know. It just hurts my soul to drive around in a car like this.

It it weird to claybar a car with rusted quarter panels?

My soul hurts too lumbercis , I may even bring a tarp for my car so it doesn't ruin group photos

Really you think yours is bad? I'm afraid to wash mine because I think the paint might come off....

Anybody live in Northern VA? I could use some help with the swap I'm working on...

I have a 1988 All Trac with a ST185 motor in it and I'm having issues on the wiring. Im using the guide that dude put together but some of the directions are just over my head right now...

I have almost all of the required materials and would be willing to meet up at some point but I think I need somebody to point me in the right direction.

I'd be happy to help out with the labor, but I'm completely clueless about wiring. Any wiring gurus out there? Maybe we can make it a mini-meet to help our boy out with his swap?

Would love to , problem is always time these days ....

Haha, you're off the hook Rob. Two and half hours drive is a bit much to ask. This local crew needs to step up though.
