Here's a good list: Cam installation, new interior, sand body down to glass by hand and paint. That's about a year's worth of work, at least that's about how long it took me to do all of that.

You can come over and pull my transmission out if your are really bored :D
You can pull mine too. I will even let you rebuild it and reinstall it also.

You could fix mine, I work too much and have nowhere to fix it right now.

Re-finish parts in your engine bay - brackets, hood springs, etc. - sand, paint, etc.....
Do all your guages work ?
What about re-painting your brake calipers ???
There's tons of cosmetics to be done if it's not a 'show' car !
:yesnod: :lol: :cool:

Cylinder head work gives big results for very little $. Port and polish the heads with a kit from standard abrasives.
Is that your frame rusting away?, a good coat of por 15 will stop that forever!
Enjoy!
