    Schaub's delorean regeneration day number 2 - spetember?

    Hi all,

    Well, the summer came and is nearly spent. Got a few things done on the car but the two or three biggies still need to be done.

    1. install new Cat converter
    2. lash the valves (doesn't sound right...)... uh - fix the tick
    3. tune and smog
    4. assemble the interior safely now that I installed new wires, hoses and such

    I believe this would be a pivotal point in the car as it would afford me the ability to drive it and tend to other issues.

    Would there be interest in a tech day in September? Specifically the 1st or 2ndweekend?

    Help as always is appreciated!!

    Awesome - thanks for the responses.

    September 7th would actually work for me.

    My dream plan was to get the Cat in this weekend so I can smog it and have the car for display at my friend's Vintage toy show on Spetember 8th at the Scottish RIte center in Sacramento. But I'll be happy with anything.

    A fully loaded KITT Pontiac will be there as well (I'll dress up like Michael Knight) If my car doesn't make it there, anybody feel like showing their car off that day? It's an appreciative crowd.

    I'll start oiling the bolts tonight!

    I may be able to get a torch. I did have one as well but for some odd reason I think it ended up at my dad's house.

    So with the three day weekend upon us I'm more than happy to host a BBQ again. I know there was interest in the 7th but if anybody is good for this weekend at any time I will be happy to receive. But if both weekends are required, I'll have food on hand... and some beer of course.

    I'm oiling the bolts with penetrating oil for the next few days and will get some fresh gas in the tank (which I emptied) so the car can moved onto ramps or stands (both of which I have). I really hope to make this whole process smooth and efficient.

    the 7th os September

    okay - so at this time it looks like my best chance is for the 7th. I know I wont be able to make the Sunday show after that but I'm very excited to get the car on the street regardless.

    Shall we say 10:00 Saturday the 7th then?

    thanks a million (or a gigawatt)
