Georgia Blue Ridge mountain drive- Results W/ Pics!

[Jbird]

Zac,

Your going to have to move me to the maybe list. The car I was planning on driving sold last week. #13 is in stages of tear down, and my 75 is sitting in Rev. Bubba's backyard in need of a pedal box and tranny swap. The only other 02 is my 76 and it might be too ugly to drive. . I have been far busier than I would have guessed for this time of year, no time for personal projects. Who knows maybe I can get the beater back together enough that you guys can point and laugh at it.

[Meintii]

Lol.. You crack me up. We won't make fun of you.. As long as you don't laugh at my guard rail fight scar ( the guard rail won). I'm just putting this on to create a day that local 02ers can meet and enjoy their cars together ( as long as Jon doesn't break down this time ). Non of us have concourse cars!

Non of us have concourse cars!

Amen brudder! Bring the beater, bring the beater, bring the beater!

[gastephens]

bring the beater! bring the beater! All '02s are beautiful, even rusted out hulks with Flintstone floors.

I am working 12 hour days to get ready for a tradeshow next week but I am carving out Saturday for a relaxing drive.

[Jbird]

Alright you guys, I have a window tomorrow so I'll throw a rebuilt carb and an ignition switch in the beater and see if that makes her happy. I'll see if the Rev. wants to come. Maybe we can load a piece of one of his NK's in the trunk! : )

[TBBMW]

I am a maybe....

The Polaris is on jack stands in the garage after the 5 speed conversion... have to finish putting things back together.

The tii has a mis-aligned drive-shaft and the Chamonix is just not ready for the drive.

If I can get the Polaris ready by Friday, I am there!

Confucius say "man with 3 bmws spend all time working, no time driving".

Hope to see you there.

[TBBMW]

Let's keep our fingers crossed Glenn, I swapped out the starter in the Polaris and got a little activity so I'm optimistic.

.... and my '02ner still works! ;-)

[Jbird]

TBBMW where are you. I live South of Atlanta in Newnan. I should be free Thursday and Friday night if you need a second set of hands.

[bills2002]

Hey, speaking of starters...if anyone needs a good starter; I have three extras and would love to unload them. $10 apiece and I'll bring 'em to Dahlonega.

[gastephens]

Glenn will buy one.

[Meintii]

Ok guys I may have a bent front strut from my accident but I plan on being there regardless.( may have to ride with someone). I'm not sure how bad it's bent butthe alignment shop said they couldn't get it anywhere near where it should be. Think I could toss a non Tii strut on it on just one side?

[gastephens]

bummer! sure, throw a non-tii strut on there. If you didn't notice the bent one you won't notice the wrong unbent one!

If I have time to do the entire drive, you can ride with me if you want. I am bringing radios for the engine and caboose.

[Meintii]

Ok peeps. Cars not Handling like it should, but I'm still taking it tomorrow. I've got the route mapped on google, I'll post it here in a few. We leave at 10 sharp!

[gastephens]

that's the spirit. see you at 10.
