I am putting on my reworked intake with the dividing walls cut back, polishing plenum and runners, installing nitrous system, as well as some electronics to go with that :smash: :smash:

Re: Winter Projects (35th)
I need to finish building the new garage. Already have the BendPak HD12ss lift waiting to be assembled. *drool* Then the fun begins ->
On the 90:
Plugs/Wires, vac hoses & other stuff damaged in engine fire
Clutch
Hurst Shifter?
Clean underbody
On the 86 Vette:
Replace throwout bearing (someone put in backwards) :mad
Put in new window motors
Door panels
ASM Throttle body
Paint
Clean underbody
On the 86 Bird:
Fix blown brake lines
Look into 3.4L swap
I'm hoping to get the 90 and the Bird done by mid Jan. It'll be fun! My dad will do most of the work on the 86 by himself (except pulling the tranny - easier w/ two people).

Re: Winter Projects (Storz)
I'll be putting on a big brakes kit and also putting new weatherstripping on both doors and poly bushings on the swaybars. Not much but should keep me busy for a couple days. :cheers:
