SoCalZ's go to the Poppy Fields

Nope, not at all. I didn't do it. :poke:

Ok, so here is my top story. :driving: Got a used top, complete, but it was black form Bavarian Auto Recyclers.
Found an upholsterer who said that he can get a tan top and install the new frame and top for $1800, remember, I already got the frame for $1200. 8) So, I gave him my car on Thurs, Feb 12. I went back the next Tues to see how he is doing. He said the new frame don't work, :cry: but he thinks the old frame was weldable. OK, so off I go to my mechanic. He thinks it must be electrical, :? so he calls up the guy and gets him to bring the car over to his shop so he can put it on the computer. 2 days later, I am calling to find out what happened. Mechanic found a short, but didn't know where. So, come Monday,( 11 days, so far) :tumbleweed: I go to the upholsterer, he has the car and said that he is going to try the new frame once again and if it didn't work, he was going to get his friend to weld the old frame. Well, he calls me on Thursday and tells me that the car is ready and has the new frame on it. :D A friend of his found a relay that was bad, so for $25+time($80), my car is fixed. Looks really good and the top is on TIGHT! :D
If anybody needs a used black top, let me know and I think we can do business. It looks to be in good condition to me. :thumbsup:

What an ordeal !!!!!! Glad to hear all is well now. You have been missing some great top down weather, time to catch up. haha
 
Rick,
Thnks for the heads up (and for making us lowly MZ3s welcome :wink: )!
I have a 90th birthday party to go to that day, so depending on the times, might be able to make it. Sounds like a fun time!

Give me a yell if you want to caravan down. I'm not sure if I'll be off early on Friday or not, but I'll pray to the engine gods!

Sorry, forgot where I was....The Jet Engine Gods.

I'm hoping by then I can swing my way to day shift, but I doubt it will happen. I might just ask for a 1 day swap.
 
I am starting to update post #1.

Btotoro be careful or you may get a preveiw. :rofl:
 
Well I just found out that I'm going to the flight line. Basically this means I will be doing weekend duty's a lot more and 13+ hour days. So now I'm not as certain I'll be able to attend. I'm still looking to go though.
