DIY DAY - Saturday 20th June - OFFICIAL

lol happy to lend a hand as well...

Was thinking 20/06.. over a month away.. what you guys think?
UPDATED BY SILVERFISH -

well i haven't heard back from Polo,
so looks like we're operating out of my work car park.

DATE - Saturday 20th June

TIME - 11 a.m. onwards

LOCATION - 25 Tower Court, Noble Park


(anyone that's been to Nandi Autocare will know the area)

So we'll have enough parking for up to approx 10+ cars,
plenty of room to work (but we'll be outdoors)
and we've got access to power in the factory.

Sorry cas, no oven so we can't bake your headlights.

WHAT TO BRING - any tools you've got available
(KJ - we'll need your soldering gear if you can bring it?)
plus any parts or pieces you'll specifically need for what you want to work on.

cheers,
gav

i pm-ed Polo today to see if he can get it for us :)

i thought by choosing the 20th it gives plenty of time for everyone to get everything they need organised n say that they are definitely coming down

:)

lets not dissappoint

What do you need help with anyway? I'm pretty sure I'm free that weekend so can probably make it. Let us know what you need so we can order the stuff from Dwayne if we need to.

i'll try messaging him through the MCA forums,
think he's still active on there.
haven't got the fellas mobile number.

the DIY day is a definite... just waiting on the location.
hey nacho, how much room you got in your driveway?

will shoot a text to Chris (Khunjeng) as well,
the dude's got a tonne of knowledge on working on FTO's!

i'll start a seperate thread within the next week.

How much room will depend on who's actually. home. It's a circular driveway but I doubt we'll fit enough as it's a narrow street also. Why don't you get in contact with Max and see if we can use his factory where he does all the seat covers?

These are the pics from my last DIY day at my house when we did suspension and as you can see it's probably not the best as driveway is also on a slant and the Z will be most likely in the garage. This day was also only with 4 cars! 8O
