FREE BEER!! Near zip 13901? (NY) Just help a DSM'er!

Sebba · 03-17-2009, 08:41 PM

So this female DSM'er I have known for a while now is still trying to get her GST put together.

The car is almost finished, it just requires a little putting together. Not at all difficult. I would do it myself but I'm nowhere near there.

Here is how it sits now:

Some of you may recognize the paint. Yes, it is the 3g Eclipse paint.

As you can see, some assembly required. The last people to work on it were worthless bastards.

Any help at all would be awesome.

Thanks for reading,

-Sebba

i would def come help you out but thats kind of a hike for me i wish i was closer to help you out

Sebba · 03-17-2009, 09:32 PM

If the beer doesn't interest you, I'm sure payment could be arranged.

90redtalontsi · 03-17-2009, 09:35 PM

haha beer is fine but does it just need the body stuff put back together or does it need mechanical stuff done like a bunch of engine or tranny work

Sebba · 03-17-2009, 09:41 PM

I believe the transmission and engine are already in.

It needs the brakes bled, the clutch bled, some interior parts to be put back in. I think it also needs a couple small things like a battery tray.

Just little odds and ends.

Payment for gas could be arranged too.

90redtalontsi · 03-17-2009, 09:44 PM

well lemme see what i can do thats the main thing i was concerned about with gas haha seeing as how i need premium and where i live its around 225 but when would you need all this done

Sebba · 03-17-2009, 09:46 PM

Seriously, this project has been ongoing for over a year now. So as soon as possible.

Just so I know, how experienced are you with DSM's?

90redtalontsi · 03-17-2009, 09:50 PM

yea i just finished my total over haul and rebuild from the ground up on my car the sleeper: 97redclipse's 1990 Eagle Talon - lancaster, Pennsylvania theres a page if u wanna see the work i did on my car

JusMX141 · 03-17-2009, 09:50 PM

Definitely a hike for me- I don't drink beer, but if I lived a little closer I'd be willing to lend a hand just to meet a cool female DSMer!

snowborder714 · 03-17-2009, 09:52 PM

^Same here.

Doesn't sound like there's much left to do that's hard. Does she not have the knowledge or just no time?

Sebba · 03-17-2009, 09:55 PM

She simply doesn't have the knowledge.

If beer does not interest you, I'm sure alternate payment could be arranged.

90redtalontsi, thank you very much I will get back to you.

Sebba · 03-18-2009, 10:19 AM

Thank you those that have offered to give your time.

Is anyone else in the area and able to chip in?

Sebba · 03-18-2009, 11:10 AM

Those interested in lending a hand can contact her here: Lkanick@gmail.com

Trav83 · 03-18-2009, 11:38 AM

13901, I believe that's Binghamton

I live less than 5 minutes from there (next town over) What happened to the car anyway?

Sebba · 03-18-2009, 12:36 PM

Basically it was owned by a moron that destroyed the car, and she is in the process of restoring it.

That is awesome that you are so close! Are you able to lend a hand?

boostin92awd · 03-18-2009, 01:54 PM

Im in Binghamton area and would be willing to give a hand with the others if needed.

Sebba · 03-18-2009, 04:52 PM

Awesome! Thanks dude, you have PM!

Sebba · 03-18-2009, 05:56 PM

Okay, here is a bombshell I wasn't initially aware of.

So the car is no longer in a storage unit. It is now located at 444 Court Street, Binghamton, NY. It is sitting on the side of a used car lot with all the parts locked inside it.

I could have it moved to a garage some place or anything. If someone has access to a tow truck that would work too.

90redtalontsi · 03-18-2009, 06:03 PM

oh man gotta pick a warm time of the day then or we all best be bundleing up lol

boostin92awd · 03-18-2009, 06:06 PM

If all fails for place to work on it if we throw my wheels back on my 2g and we finish it up in a day I might have a place for us to work on it but only as a last resort. Because it would have to be at my work

Sebba · 03-18-2009, 06:14 PM

According to her, if you go through the Arbys drive through, you will see her car.

boostin92awd · 03-18-2009, 06:17 PM

Ok I know exactly where it is. Its like two minutes from my house not even.

Sebba · 03-18-2009, 06:18 PM

So far here is a list of things I know of that need doing. Anyone feel free to add.

Clutch lines bled
Brakes bled
Timing checked
Timing belt evaluated, and if old/bad it would need to be changed (parts supplied)
Transmission fluid flushed
Oil/filter changed
Possible MAF wiring needed.
Upper and lower rad pipes.
Possibly oil cooling system isn't there. I don't remember.
Loads of interior parts need to be done.
Front bumper put on
Tested for boost leaks
Then all started up and check for problems etc...

What ever needs to be purchased, that can all be taken care of.

Sebba · 03-18-2009, 06:35 PM

How INSANE. She says you are a 2 min walk away...

LTUDSM · 03-19-2009, 08:42 AM

i would come,but its more then one day job,and its far from me

(

Sebba · 03-19-2009, 10:54 AM

That's cool dude : )

I would like to get this going as soon as possible though.

Sebba · 03-19-2009, 07:17 PM

Thanks to all that contributed to this thread. I really hope something gets started.

As a last resort, I have arranged for the car to be assembled at a shop for a price. I would like to avoid that if possible though.

Thanks again.

90redtalontsi · 03-19-2009, 09:24 PM

i wonder what absurd amount of money a shop wants

lol and if you take it there make sure they know what they are doing

Sebba · 03-19-2009, 09:59 PM

I spoke to the guy on the phone, and it seems like he knows his stuff.

But yes, it will probably be some retarded amount.

Sebba · 03-20-2009, 08:31 PM

At this moment in time, 90redtalontsi, boostin92awd, and Trav83, have all agreed to chip in and get the car running.

I would like to take a moment to thank everyone for contributing this thread, and especially thank those that have offered their time. This is why I love the DSM community.

Thanks again.
