Caffeine's dodgy day (Sydney, Saturday July 26)

I'm going to be doing some more work on my car next month (when the parts arrive), so anyone who wants to come along and share tools & effort can do so.

I'll be putting in my new radiator, doing braided brake lines, power steering fluid change and transmission fluid change...

As before there's room for 4 or 5 cars to be worked on undercover, and room for another few to park, so the more the merrier!

So sliq makes 4 cars confirmed. Plenty of room for more people. I'm sure sliq is a nice guy, but I doubt he'd appreciate some alone time together with me :D :shock:

hey guys, never been to one of these dodgy days before, but i guess there is a first time for everything.

Will see how thing are closer to the time but im interested at this stage. i can offer some tools (small 3/8 socket set and some ratchet ring spanners), a small amount of experience (ive done gear box changes inc fluid, timing belt/water pump changes and other small stuff) and plenty of willingness to help.

is that enough???

hopfully time will allow me to join you guys (assuming you will have me :P )

will keep an eye on this post untill then.

Ben

I may tag along just to lend a hand (and scab a beer :P ). Don't have any works to be done ony my own car, but there's always plenty to learn. Maybe I'll find out what these Mazdaspeed engine mount thingies actually do :P

Will wait til closer to the day before I lock it all in though.
