you can get away with the engine block paint on most stuff anyway... and the wrinkle finish stuff often looks like it belongs too...

Talking about the bumper cover, or the metal bumper itself?
For the cover its just spending alot of time finding every little screw holding it on. Pretty sure you have to pop the fog lights out too, the brackets help hold it in IIRC.
Theres a Meet Gellert Blvd Starbucks / Petsmart in Daly City Friday Nights starting at 930 -10pm-ish.
weather permitting of course. but people still make it out.
come through if youd like only 3 MKIII so far. usually a bunch of other cars as well.

Might as well just stay in Reno for the night and head out. Going over Donner Pass after driving all day sucks ass. I do it all the time.
BTW it's 150 miles shorter to take I-15 south to I-10 east and etc to get to Bakersfield, but i'm sure there's some reason you want to take the 80 so nevermind.

Just saying what's up since I never posted in here. There's a weekly meet at the Sonic in Tracey around 9-9:30 pm on Wednesday's. The Sonic is located at the Tracy mall.

It's probably less than 15 cars, but since it's in a rather public area you get a lot of people that just pull in and say what's up.

I will for sure. I would also like to pick your brain regarding the whole process since most of the threads I read on here about the subject usually end up in "SEARCH!!!" or flame the guy into looking elsewhere. I've been reading the TSRM, the haynes manual, and searching for the past few months and have a pretty good idea what I need to do, but there are a few things that are bugging me since I have never pulled a head before. I'm probably worrying more than I need to be, but I like doing things on my car the right way (as I'm sure most do).
I could buy you lunch sometime if you want to talk about it or i'll pm you next time i'm home. Like I said before I drive long haul for a refrigerated company so i'm only home about 7 days every 4-5 weeks so it'll be a while.

They use that same plug on a crap load of other cars. Take a trip to your local yard and see what that does for ya.

I wasn't referring to the machining stuff. Mainly that I was working on the Supra and some stuff was starting to show up. Hence the pic of the Supra and the headgasket kit. I have no reason to doubt your work or what you do after seeing that thread. If my head needs machining I'll hit you up as I'd prefer to do it local since the turnaround time would be faster and put some money in your pocket instead of another.
