Default What mods are you doing to your vette over the winter?

So what mods if any are you going to be doing to your vette when stored away for the winter?

I am adding some new custom seat covers and interior pieces along with seat heaters, also clean and paint the hood liner with a new decal, for now.
Then doing a good sanding and buffing of the old clear targa top as its starting to peel a bit and some painting of a few engine parts with a bit of added chrome.

All that should take me a while, if there is any extra time will install a new 4 channel amp and PAC thats been sitting around for a while.
