ok, I will need some help, If we (Me and the wife) plan on driving the Baja to chircos this year. As you know I work nights and have odd hours plus I have 2 kids so I no longer have the time to work on the baja...

Things that I need to get done are

1. Replace the clutch
2. New CV boots and repack all CV's
3. Replace all broken Zip ties.
4. New Brake pads on the rear then bleed the brakes.
5. new wiper blades
6. Fix review mirror on drivers door
7. Oil Change
8. file notch out of starter (Needs to be done to work with 2.3)
9. fix bad wire to lights on front, replace side light bulb
10. other little things not listed...

Most of this is real qucik stuff it's just trying to get it done when I have zero time to my self anymore.

The wife and I were able to set aside one day

to get this all done. Any help would be great!!! I mostly need the helps with the clutch, it can be done in under 30 minutes with 2 people. CV's about an hour.

I will have food from pizza, soda, grilled hambergers etc. We can also work on other Baja's too once we get done with mine . I'm an electrical person among other things...

Thanks and hope to see some one show up at the house.

Thanks the more hands the faster things get done.

i wish i could help yah man but im going fishing that weekend

If its at all possible I will be there.

I was think if people would like to show up before 8am, like 7am...this would be fine too as we can get stuff done before the heat sets in.

I also need to get my old electric fan motor pressed out and replaced with the the new electric motor...I'm thinking Bugzilla can handle this one....If he has a press etc.

If I left now... I might make it by the 26th. But we 'd have to have a repair day for the "Cow Bug" & for my old tired bones too...

Wish I could make it, sounds like a good fun day...

I will try to show up- now you know Im not a bug genius, the small stuff sounds easy though... Im just looking to see some things come apart before I screw up my own and ask some ???'s

This is all basic wrench turning stuff...My car is more Ford,GM & Plymouth than VW...

Mostly heavy lifting engine in and out etc.

I wish I could come help too...and learn! I just traded for a '75 baja w/ the Ford 2.3 already installed but there's quite a bit of "hackage" to redo. i.e. - throttle cable extension that actually works throught the entire stroke w/out rubbing on the exhaust, headlights that work, carb rebuild, new gaskets for the tin, fill in the 2 ft hole some goob cut right in front of the engine( at least the "builder" didn't just leave the engine hanging off the original mounts only), get the electric fan mounted to the radiator, plumb in a heater core if I can still find it , THEN.....lol!! I'm sure some of you have already been there...Too bad that E. Oregon is so far from Mesa!

Clutch and other parts showed up yesterday!!!!

We are of to Wal-Mart to get the tent for tomarrow. I need to get the engine host rolled out in the morrining. Need to clear all the baby stuff out of the way 1st.

sorry i wont be able to make it, i dont have the gas or money to drive that far
