8th Annual PNW BoraParts/Fixum GTG August 17, 2013

[BleachedBora]

Looks like it's time for our 8th annual Fixum/Boraparts GTG. First one was way back in '06, can't believe it's been that long...

Mark your calendars! Let's get a separate thread going for food; some sort of potluck would be awesome. If someone could step in and help coordinate that it'd be greatly appreciated. Upon request if we have gurus attending we can have some limited wrenching. Depending on interest we might set up a small auto cross course (limit to 1st gear!) etc... Let's get some ideas going of what people would like to do this year...

LOCATION: 17 August at 710 NE Cleveland Ave, Ste 150 - Gresham OR 97030

ON August 17th, I AM COMING TO HANG OUT, AND MAYBE WORK ON MY OWN CAR AND MAYBE HELP OTHERS :

Well I can always cancel my camping trip or go up Saturday night and make it a short overnighter. Yup thats what I'll do. Count me in for ME+3.

I can't miss out on this!


Dude! That Blows. I am camping that weekend..... The 10th and the 24th are wide open though. Too late to change dates I bet though? I got a grocery list of stuff to do to my jetta too.

Anyone have welding skills to help convert a tow hitch from 1 1/4" to a 2" reciever?

I want to go as well but that date doesn't work for me. It would have to be a week earlier for it to work.

I am sure you guys will have a blast.

 

[PDiesoiler]

Aaron, I'd be down for a windshield if they are genuine VW

 

[ryanmiller]

also curious about what brand glass the windshields are. Mine is terribly pitted

 

[slamhouse]

My windshield from last years gtg is doing great. No pitting.

 

[BleachedBora]

Yes, they are OEM SEKURIT, can't get better than that. I like them a lot more than the Pilkington glass. Probably spelt one of them wrong, but you get the idea.

We'll probably have my dent removal guy here too, waiting to hear back. He's amazing and inexpensive. Working on a dyno too, though we'd have to drive to that...
