Well, looking at about 13 cars at this stage!

Sounds like most people are just there to watch (they like to watch....) So we should have no trouble with room. We'll have room for 4 cars worth of major / long work (timing belts, bushes, wheel bearings etc) plus room for 2 cars worth of minor / quick stuff (oil changes etc)

If anyone has folding chairs, bring them too, I have ~7 or 8 chairs plus there are some old garden benches there to sit on.

If anyone forgets parts / tools on the day, don't worry too much, there's a robbos, a repco, a supercheap and a few smaller places within 5 minutes of my place.

Ordinarily yes, but I've been turning the garage upside down for the last 3 days looking for mine :(

A nice micrometer adjustable one it is too...

The closer it gets to my mates' bucks party on Saturday the more and more likely that I'll be hungover. Best to probably count me out. If I do show up, I'll just do some watching and perhaps a little hair of the dog to help take the edge off :P

Bring it along. With so many people standing around watching, i'm sure some of them will want to get their hands dirty. :lol:

Yeah mate, just the torque wrench. My g/f dad just gave me a really old school one (swinging pendulum), but it is off centre, so would prefer a better one if I can get my hands on one. Would be awesome if you brought yours along. :)

16 cars confirmed! 9 more possibles too. 8)

The bushes and brake fluid arrived yesterday, I have all the parts I need now (brake pads and guide plates will have to wait for another day but they're easy).

Now if only I could find my torque wrench... :shock:
