What do you want/plan/need to get done before Picnic '11?

[jasonsnoddy]

If I'm incredibly lucky:

Coilovers
Front suspension rebuild
All bushings
Skid plate
Wire up new components
Install carpet
Obtain is lip
Paint valence, lip, spoiler, mirrors, bottom door trim, valve cover
Iggee seat covers

All that is probably pushing it though. The money flow determines what will have to be put off till summer.

What about you guys?

[Ryann]

^Awe, you've got plenty of time.

Install new wheels/tires-check
Paint and install decklid ornament-check
Fix lower timing cover leakage-check
Install new clutch
Replace front brakes-check
Replace intake boot and all CCV/ICV hoses-check
Troubleshoot AFM issue-check

looks like clutch is going to have to wait.

Sick! Finally making it huh
It's starting to look grim for bfest with my car since I broke my hand, but this is my list......

Pull front subframe and struts from car and install my m52/trans/suspension I took out of the vert
Install 944 booster and modified brake lines (no abs)
Fix bent arc8s
Remove ds from vert, replace csb, install in 88
Remove trailing arms and weld on camber/toe correction plates. Sub is already dropped. Reinstall with diff.
Remove rear hardline T from vert for 88, stole it from the 88 for the abs delete.
Install mishimoto radiator with my 12" permacool fan
Finish last few tubes for roll cage (to front shock towers), paint cage and interior
Install ds door, with lock cylinder from original door. Map pockets off too, or it wont close.
Reinstall f/r windows, new lock strips needed and rear window seal.
Straighten roof more, and patch sunroof hole with cf panel from ebay...
Install pass fender, buy and install pass sideview mirror on door
Buy, install, rear is lip
Install headlights, grilles, valence, and plastic bumpers (bare plastic atm, must be at least primed. Same for the valence, I detexturized it, so it's bare metal)
Paint car (lol? Or just roll un matching )
Wire car with painless wiring kit, no auto door lock, but ineed to figure out how to wire the pwr windows and e36 switches without any of the stock harness. May try to retain the mirror adjustment motors functional, too.
On top of the painless kit, I need to incorporate my RaceTechnology Dash2 display, aka my new instrument "cluster"...this is a good project in itself, wiring and programing for sensors etc
Install race seats with side mounts, ill probably make the brackets.
Buy, install, ss braided brake lines
freshen up stock brakes with new rotors and pads, not enough dough yet for a bbk

That's almost all of it

:???:

Get m50 running, fully detail it, new tread on, 4 wheel alignment, Camber plates

[RainierHooker]

All I need is to get home from A'Stan before the picnic. I just hope the .gov doesn't screw me...

But I'd like to have the new stereo and speakers wired into and the RS'es mounted on the eta .
I'd also hope that my suspension is all buttoned up on the M3 by then too, just gotta install.

Telling you, man...I will drive to your home and install your stuff while you are gone. You can come home to finished!

I don't know if I am even gonna make it to the picnic this year, things are shitty for me right now.

[JJe30]

I'd like a new set of wheels, that'd be about it

I'd really like that, but I wouldn't wish my garage on anyone right now. The father-in-law did me a 'favor' and 'organized' it before I came home on leave. Now I don't have the faintest of ideas of where anything is. Guess, it'll be fun re-re-organizing and re-discovering stuff when I get back.

Oh and for the record, the stereo isn't really new. I sourced an awesome Blaupunkt CM84 Lexington with the 10-disc Changer, and then I got a pair of radical NOS in-the-box Blaupunkt DL4631 4x6's for the rear deck. Now I gotta decide on some front components to finish the 80's stereo makeover. Oh, and figure out how to put an aux-in into the CM84...

On the other topic though, what's so shitty? Anything I or the r3v can do to help?
