Manual Conversion Day - Help needed Warrandyte South

[bentles]

Hey guys, Who wants to come chip in a bit of a hand for a t5 conversion on my EB series 2?

Date is yet to be confirmed, and I've got no tools. However I do have a pretty large asphalt area which can be used as long as not much oil is spilled everywhere.

Supplied: beer, snags, other bbq stuff, and other food/refreshments. The area is under cover so it can work with any weather.


What i need - someone who knows the entire process back to front, and others who wouldnt mind coming to help and chip in a hand even if its just for the free meal and beer.

When: May 19? 20? not sure yet, depends on what day is best for everyone. Ive got all the parts except the oil which ill get when i find out this is on.


thanks guys

[JUZXR8]

[Dezza]

I might be able to come along. I should be able to help a bit, but while I have had the conversion done on mine, I certainly don't know it back-to-front. The main reason being because Josh (efgiar) did most of the work on mine! lol

[bentles]

cool thanks mate all help appreciated.

[gthofan]

ill be there, i will take care of the mal wood pin, or pedal box. whichever way you go i can do it
Ill bring a trolley jack, ramps and stands.

cheers
scott

[bentles]

oh forgot to mention
the manual pedal box is already in thanks to schmee!! 1/2 the work done :P

[Felony]

If im free i'll come and do as much as i can mr bentley smythe.....
I have a set of four car ramps to put the car up high enough for a couple of us to get under it

[mark_TD]

I will come along as well and I am willing to help as I have had mine done by Josh as well and I was at Shauns I do know how to do parts of it and know abit too.... Well I hope anyway :()

750 for all parts off schmee and $9 for new spigot bearing and prob get a new clutch cable and then whatever the oil costs plus the food and beer for the day is about all so $900 or less all up

[Hybrid34]

Where do you live? like what suburb n when are you doing it? I can help, asfor as passing tools:P but would really like to come to learn out to do it all

[bentles]

Hey guys just a reminder the conversion is happening THIS saturday!

for those who still need my address hit me up with a PM and ill send it to you.

long as my car survives till saturday and doesnt have a truck land on it or something it should be sweet.

ill have to head into repco and grab a clutch cable thursday morning and hope to god they have one in stock.

what beer does everyone want? or should i wait till the day and get my sis to drive me to shops to pickup supplies?

[mark_TD]

Damn I cant make it this Saturday as I am in Gippsland. Sorry Bentles

[bentles]

gearbox is sitting in my carport right now, just need oils which ill be getting this arvo.

this is happening tomorrow people all welcome, free bbq i think my sis even said she was gonna bake muffins ahhaha


anyway

PM me for address if interested!

[ORSMEB]

I will be there, and as for the accelerator cable, I would've got one from ford. It ends up being cheaper I'm pretty sure...and original!

What time do we all rock up?

[Dezza]

I'm still in, although I might need to do a bit of running around before hand, due to my power steering destroying it's second belt in a week.

[bentles]

umm car should be on ramps at 10am im pretty sure, and dezza just leave it off lol build those arms of steel up! haha

[bentles]

balloons on the tree right next to my letter box for all coming who are having a quick read of this thread :P

just come up driveway when it splits go right if you can and pull into the grassy areas on left side of driveway kinda near the pool and walk the rest cos theres no room to park behind the house where this will be happening.

[Bens_ELXR6]

Good luck with the conversion fellas!

[Maximus]

Is this happening tomorrow? As in Sunday 20th?

I might be able to make it, depends how I pull up after tonight.

I've done manual conversions on a Datsun 200b and also an R30 Skyline.

PM me the address mate.

[bentles]

no it was today

car is still auito
everyones gone home

great BBQ but thx to my sis for her chicken skewers and muffins she cooked


but felony the man bringing all the tools and knowhow bailed cos of work so it was axed.

thanks goes out to dezza, scotty, orsmeb, NC_lane for coming pity we were under manned and under tooled!

ah well maybe another time lol

[Dezza]

Yeah, it was a shame about the conversion. While most of us have been involved with manual conversions, none of us were experienced enough to run the show.

It was a good BBQ anyway.

[SPNAGE]

hey sorry i couldnt make it, something came up at the last minute and secondly i lost the bit of paper you gave me with your address on it. sorry to hear it didnt get done today, maybe next time.
