[SFBA CORSA]

Hello Everyone,

We hope you all had a nice holiday weekend and were able to enjoy at least
a little of it in your Corvair.

A few noteworthy things leading into the in person meeting this Sunday and
the newsletter next week....


   - Yes! This Sunday we will be holding our first official post pandemic
   in person meeting at Perk's Drive Thru in Lafayette. 10am. 3849 Mt Diablo
   Blvd right next to the library. There will be a weekly cars & coffee
   preceding our meetup. You are encouraged to attend that one too, if you'd
   like. Perk's is a *cash only *establishment, so bring some green and
   show them some support for hosting us!

   - For those of you that cannot attend the in-person meetup, don't fret!
   The zoom meetings aren't going anywhere. We will be still doing those on
   the first Thurs at 7pm. If you haven't attended a zoom meeting, we talk
   about a lot of everything, but *a lot* of tech.


   - Club president Ray Welter is going to be moving his project Spyder to
   his storage facility in Vallejo soon. Along with that, he is planning to do
   an engine rebuild. If you want to help or learn more, send a message.
   Details to follow...


   - Club member Kevin Hightower (he has the electric conversion Spyder) is
   moving to Charlotte NC and has a box of Corvair parts that he cannot take
   and is giving away free to any member who may want/need them. Items
   include: tail lights, blinkers, mirrors, boost gauge, possibly more. If
   you're interested, drop him an email hightowk at gmail.com (located in
   South Bay). We wish Kevin and his family the best on their new adventure!


   - Club member Lane Davidson is going down to pick up a diff for his
   Corsa. The gentleman selling him the diff also has some other Corvair parts
   for sale. The list of parts is attached along with the seller's cell phone
   number. If you see something you need, Lane will pick it up, but you will
   have to pick it up at Lane's place in Castro Valley. Lane can be contacted
   at (510) 329-0640 for more info.


   - Want to learn how to rebuild a front suspension? This month, the CORSA
   meetup covers this very topic with longtime CORSA/NTCA member and multiple
   Cole award winner Mike Dobie. The meeting is on Thurs. Corsa members should
   have received an email invite. If you are a CORSA member and have not
   received the email, message Josh vondeitch at gmail.com and he will help
   you out.


   - Speaking of CORSA meetups, next month, our very own member from down
   under, Carl Kelsen will be hosting the May CORSA meetup in his garage and
   talking about his right hand drive conversion Monza. Those who have been
   sitting in on the zoom meetings know quite a bit about Carl and this car,
   but it will be great to see our fellow club member get to share his story
   on the big stage!


   - SFBA CORSA has a paypal account! If you want to pay your dues or send
   over a contribution to help the club, you can do so by using this email
   address to send money. sfbacorsa at gmail.com. When sending funds, make
   sure to send to friends and family so paypal doesn't ding us with service
   fees. Your dues and contributions go to covering the website, url fees,
   newsletters, food at tech/sessions and misc expenses. We hope you get a lot
   of value out of the club and we do appreciate every one of you.

Got an idea to make SFBA better? Send it over! We are always looking for
ideas, suggestions and *cough* volunteers *cough* to make SFBA CORSA the
best Corvair club around!
