Title: Convention 2007 [Convention attendees] What do you still need to do to prep your car for QLD?
Post by: Vette Obsessed on March 23, 2007, 07:46:34 PM: The title says it all.

Some of you have secret projects underway and won't particpate here but I know alot of you out there are still working on things in the leadup to the convention.

What do you have left to do?

* Regas the air conditioning (it would be nice to have it working again)
* Put my passenger seat back in
* Put the (now repaired) heater core back in and reconnect
reinstall dash parts (glovebox, hush panel, and some switchgear)
* Detail the car and clean off some excess polish
* Have mufflers re-aligned.

Post by: RHD.68.l89 on March 24, 2007, 12:28:42 PM: Servicing it today and I found a suspect brake hose so that is being replaced. After that I am going over to the G/F's to do a test pack to make sure we can fit in all her shoes.
A bit of driving this week to make sure everything is OK then leave on the 2nd when the caravan passes through Melbourne.
I had my mufflers realigned last time I did some work on it and gained 5 hp. It was either that or the new stickers I put on the aircleaner.:):):):)

Post by: 77CVT on March 30, 2007, 08:26:20 AM: We'll understand if you are running it in and don't want to unleash it.

Don't make a habit of it! ;-)
