24th Annual SFO Beer Festival!

So, a few of us went up north for our 2nd Annual SFO Beer Fest. Friday was our day to train, as we started out fairly strong. We stopped off at Fisherman's Wharf in honor of Dave and Jill, and ate at their usual spot. Had a few beers there, then moved on back to the bar at the hotel for some more beers. Off to the Downtown Hilton to meet up with a co-worker to give her tickets to the beer fest. Off to have more beers at the hotel lobby, while waiting on Jun to take us to eat sushi. Get to Sushi Kazu , more beers. What's sad about Friday was us eating too damn much, drinking quite a bit, and alseep by 11.

Saturday, back to the wharf for some more seafood, and slept till beerfest. What can I say about beerfest? you gotta go. 300 different beers to sample, decent food, crazy ass crowd, good friends. All I can say about beerfest, it isn't beerfest until something happens, like a friend swinging at some guy cuz he's chanting a rival college name. U can ask daryl how he felt about that one.

Anyways, Sunday, finally got me a breadbowl with Chili. All in all a good weekend, we'll be up there again next year, hopefully, we'll beat those two doods that seem to beat us every year in line.

I needs to bring a real Camera to class

So, the boot lid is a mess, with previous patches, rust etc. Stripped it to bare metal, pulled up the lows and tapped down the highs. Had to use some filler as some areas were pretty far gone.

Hopefully this won't take as long as the bonnet did!

Shige did a quick photoshop for me. I think the roof needs to be the same color of the body, and the Volks don't look right, but I think the bronze wheels are the way to go.

Don't tell the authorities....

But the tina runs, drives and stops! after waiting damn near 3 weeks to get the rear brakes shoes relined, finally had the chance to install them today after work. With the brakes sorted, I was able to borrow my brothers Snap-On cordless impact gun (every tool chest should have one!) and installed the rear Koni shocks!

Got it all started, warmed up, put the car in gear and she moves under her own power! With a quick check to see if there were any police around, slowly backed the car up, put her in drive, and putted down the block.

I think I need to tune the carb a touch, since it seems like the motor gets enough air, but not enough fuel. Then when I have the chance, it's off to the DMV to get her registered and insured, and hopefully, HOPEFULLY, I'll be crusin' in my tina come this summer!

Wahoo?

OMG

She's in Primer!
