Gettin' ready for spring!!
Well, temps are finally climbing and it's got me thinking about going topless again. The car's been sleeping all winter despite needing a fair amount of work because it's just TOO cold to work on it. The warehouse it was in is FAAAR too large to try and heat, so I just let her sit and wait for some warmer weather. Last weekend I decided to mover her and all her parts to a too-small garage across town so I can get started on the last of the repairs befroe spring gets here.
To do:
-Replace the entire braking system with VBP o-ring calipers (powder coated RED), stainless lines, Hawk pads, new MC, new rotors, etc.
-Install VBP Street and Slalom kit
-New plug wires, new cast valve covers
-Speedo cable
-Align windows to hard top and check regulator springs
-Refinish top frame and install new weatherstripping & fabric
-Install C3R Harness Bar
-Install G-Force harnesses
-Touchup paint
-Wash/wax
-Drive!!
I've got all the parts and stuff ready and the little garage is easy to heat. That's good, because it's still only in the twenties/thirties here!
I ordered some new t-shirts today and got the new valve covers yesterday (I just decided I wanted a different look)

I have to install the drivers side panel on the center console, bolt the seats down and get my exhaust installed. Then I'm off to get my state inspection and my license plates.
Downside to all of that, once the car is on the road for the first time in 4, I get to find out what is actually wrong with the car.
