Tis the season
 

I had unscrewed my 5.5 hp air compressor from the bench it was mounted on some time ago. I was going to install it higher on the wall to free up some work space but couldn’t get it high enough by myself. It sat on the bench un-tethered for several months while people came and went that could have helped me but alas I forgot all about it.

Then yesterday while working on the accused ’44 it “walked” right off the bench :shock: Fortunately it missed “Black Talon”, my ‘71’s replacement gas tank, and the 914 2ltr. All are better for it too :!:

Anyway, it didn’t work after taking the fall. “BT” suggested a big hammer and what the heck it didn’t work anyway :arrow: :arrow: so we did , and now it does :!: Later I told my darling wife about it. But before I could tell her the happy ending she suggested putting a new 175 lb compressor on my X-Mass list :shock: God I love that women :!: I vest up so no new compressor but god I love that women :!: :!:

So, what are the dorki hoping to “score” this year :?: Don’t forget your significant other’s e-mail so we can all be Santa’s little helpers :wink:

I hope to get through the holiday's without too much scrutiny (by Lu) on my engine rebuild expenditures. :oops:

You know, there are precious few reasons to upgrade during the summer, but this is one. Not being in the middle of a project allows more leeway for the wish list. Yeah, I know I'm reaching here.

My wish list includes a helmet, extinguisher and mounting bracket, and new floor mats since the old brown ones now clash. And tools - 1/2" deep well sockets, a set of big ass metric wrenches, and a lift. You know, the little things. :twisted:

Oh Boy! This is a tough one. Since every thing has been replace below the water line and forward of the engine bulk head there is not much to do there. So I guess I'll take the old girl apart and paint her. Try to make an Arfess a Wolfess.
:P

I brother, do I share that hope! With a drop & refresh, the ususal 'while you're in there' things like clutch [ouch!] belts, waterpump etc, and bodywork, it could be quite a tab.

Chris, the new fire system going into my car means I'll have a nice extinguisher & bracket looking for a home.

I think I might be able to provide that home. PM me with some details when ready.

Some new 5 pt belts, some 9x16 fuchs, "permission" for Road Atlanta DE and while I am at it a "full" DE season (last year I made only 1 event.. need to build that back up to the 6-9 I once enjoyed) and, oh yeah, A couple of sets of Khumos. :D Merry Christmas!

1. I hope to not get hit by any falling compressors in 2005... :shock:
2. Seats, so I can finally use the harnesses.
3. A set of reversible gearwrenches - 12 piece metric (I printed out info from four tool web sites this evening, and 'accidentally' left them on the printer) :)

1) Harness Bar
2) Harnesses
3) Seats to go with the above

1) Getting out of the doghouse for neglecting to introduce my wife before my car at the Dorki dinner. :roll: Priorities man, priorities!
2) Brake adapters for my 993 set-up
3) Roll bar
4) Harnesses
5) FG rsr bumpers

6) RJ's twin turbo Ruf motor transplant. :twisted:
