    Charlotte, NC (SC,Ga,Va, Tn too) - Wrench day/meet

    OK,
    I got the clearance to swap some parts for wrench time at a local BMW shop. The tough part, it's gotta be done on a weekday...and a 4 hour window at that. Details as follows:

    What: I need to replace my gas tank since mine has a small leak when full and making right hand turns. Also, since I'll have lift access, I'd like to get my rear control arm bushings and subframe bushings swapped out. And....since I'll have everything else off, I could complete my brake line swap and parking brake cables.

    When: Wednesday, May 10, 2006. Starting at noonish. The owner wants us to button things up before close at 6PM. I know this represents a very aggressive window. My first priority is the gas tank. The subrame/control arm bushings and brake lines would be bonuses. I fgured if I'm gonna be in the same area, might as well.

    Who: me and hopefully as many as you guys as I can convince to help me.

    Why: Because leaking gas is no fun

    How: That remains to be be seen. Be any means necessary I suppose

    Where: Touring Car
    Address-300 Seaboard St, Matthews, NC 28104
    Phone- 704.821.7023

    Of course, I'll be happy to supply any food, drink, whatever to keep you guys going. And if anyone needs a place to crash before or after the event, I've got plenty of room in my place.

    Also, as an incentive to get you guys to help me out (besides the camaraderie, lol). Everyone that comes by to help will get one of these-


    Here's what the set includes:
    28 PCS 3/8" DR. Socket AND Wrench Set
    Set Includes:

    3/8" DR. UNIVERSAL JOINT
    3/8" DR. 3" EXTENSION BAR
    3/8" DR. 6" EXTENSION BAR
    3/8" DR. 8" QUICK RELEASE RATCHET
    3-WAY ADAPTOR 3/8" (F) x 1/2" (M)
    2 PCS * 3/8"DR. SPARK PLUG 16 & 21 MM
    10 PCS * SOCKETS * 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14, 15, 16, 17
    10 PCS STANDARD COMBINATION WRENCHES * 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17

    MSRP: $199

    Guys, I could REALLY use the help to get all this work done. If you could make it, your help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Questions, post them here and I'll try to answer them as soon as I can

    Thanks!

          I'll do my best to be there, there's no telling if I will even be in NC then. This summer is going to be insane.

            I would like to help, but I just started a new job and I have to give them two weeks notice so I cant help. I hope you get everthing done. Rob should help a get a lot of it done and honestly more than 3 people kinda becomes a clutter of people just standing around talking like Rob pointed out in his post.

              Awesome, thanks for the help guys!

              Just so I know what to order, right now Rob is the only one confirmed, right? bmwm3n528 and asubimmer are maybes?

              Honestly, I'm really hoping we can get enough guys where we can work on the rear end and gas tank at the same time. With air tools and a lift, this SHOULD be considerably easier...
