Default Winter Projects.

Ok, what do you have planned for your baby after you put her to bed this year? I was going to do rear wheel bearings until my right one really went to hell after funfest and I did both rears then. I guess I will switch out the Fuel injectors that are at 14.2 ohms!

What are your winter projects this year?

Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. I'm hitting the engine compartment now with lots of Simple Green.

New rotors all the way around.

I'm also going to switch the drivers and passenger side seats.

New water pump, MSD opti, wires, plugs, hoses, fuel filter, Hurst shifter, R-D cross-frame, and sound system. Meanwhile, I'm plotting my strategy until I get started (probably in early March).

I was thinking of installing the complete poly bushing kit that has been on my shelf for over 3 years.
Maybe this winter

Possibly getting new paint, we'll see what the budget looks like come spring. Other than that just general stuff.

Don't plan on putting it away for the winter but if I get the time I'll install the C5 brakes that have been sitting in my garage for the past 6 months.

I also won't be storing for the Winter.

However the body work/painting process has begun and it won't be long before the ugly scars on my babies hood will be a distant memory and I will be cruising a Flat Black '89.

For sure a new FIRST intake and headers, maybe a lt4 hot cam, 1.6 RR and have the heads redone, have to see what the bonus check looks like.

Fresh motor, full tranny build, maybe body kit and paint.

Might be divorced in the spring but will have a nice toy when I'm done
