Just a reminder for those folks who are in NorCal (or want to travel to NorCal) to wrench on their e28s.

Here is who I have so far, and what we're doing:

:: Chef trans. mount(s), shift linkage issues??? -Shawn, let me know if you
want to deal with shift linkage; and let me know what I should order; I need
to get on it ASAP if you do.

:: Spark!(tm) - Window Seals (? - How is the in-law family health
situation?)

:: Devinder - window seals (.and?)

:: Pat H (? - What's next on the e30?)

:: Mario (??)

:: JayB (??Anything on your docket??) Can you bring your
brake-bleeder/flusher?

:: Eric Q? (making another roadtrip?) Brian da PartsPimp said he was sending
you stuff.

:: Mike C (Dinan 5er) ? (?? Misc. euro bumper conversion? Rear spoiler?)

:: Mike W (Santa Rosa) ??

:: Scottie (??)

:: Nate Cook (fellow worker: slave and master cylinder)???

:: Mark W (me): rear-window swap (to one with a good defroster), euro window
power upgrade (I can't find the f***ing relay socket), driver door lock
module

:: Craig D: master clutch cylinder (another!!!) if not done on Thursday

Food and drink:

I am BBQ'ing burgers and "brat"s. I will have some beer, but encourage people to bring some beverage as well. Any snacks and side dishes are welcome too.
Feel free to (please!!!) speak here and let me know what you're bringing.

Unfortunately, we won't be lucky enough to have the brew that Pat Hines brought last time.

See you all on Saturday!
