I'm a strong probably, though the week before or after would be better for me. Is it a drive or a WF?

More names,

Craig in Davis
Devinder (sp?)
Matt (Bimmerguy 02)
James (balticblau)

Well why don't you put it out on the NorCal Yahoo board, I think more people might check that or at least get email updates from that source...

I will come up on the 16th - I'd ask what food/drinks to bring, but it seems like beer is always welcome, along with flesh to burn on the grill.

As far as projects I need: Center support, guido and rear window seal. Have all the parts, just need to install.

Man I have to start requesting Saturdays off at the dealership. Working at BMW is fun, but it is going putting a big damper on summer fun.

16th I'm busy,

oh well guess I will have to have a wrenchfest at my house soon.
I have to do the food for this National Belly Dancing Festival...

Start time? 0600?

George · Post by **George** » Apr 28, 2009 5:56 PM

Any of you guys have spring compressors and an impact gun?

I have a full suspension sitting in the back of my car and I need to remove the springs for another e24 guy. Is it alright if he comes?

ElGuappo · Post by **ElGuappo** » Apr 28, 2009 6:01 PM

We love doing suspension swaps at wrenchfests, right Bob?

I can bring my NEW set of spring compressors (craftsman this time) and Bluepoint impact.... Manny, do you have air?

Damn early bird.. I dont think other folks will even be up by then.

Whatever is best for everyone. I will be home all day but I would rather have it to where everyone is here together.. If you want to show up early then you can, I think my sunroof is missin some screws anyway

I think most will probably show up after 12 or so..

Probably closer to 0900.

Stuff to do! Gonna be a hot one!!!

Manny, you didnt answer me on the last page, but do you have AIR?

Useless to bring impact gun if you don't have a compressor.

Sorry, I missed it.. I have crafstman air compressor & impact gun. But I always use my breaker bars since its a small tank & has to refill for max power. If its a nut thats really hard to remove a breaker is the best bet, but if its for speed & saving time then its good as long as the bolts are not super tight....
