Winter projects

[87IROC Z]

So what is everyone doing for winter car projects? We all know what matt got himself into. <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> I still have to replace my headliner, weather stripping, injectors, and new wheels/tires. And for the berlinetta i picked up a set of iroc tail lights, front bumper cover, rear bumper cover, and a full set of ground effects.

Mine is just looking for a new car, almost went after a 97 taurus sho but insurance was gonna kill me.

Supposed to get DFI and a cog setup. May end up being a spring project, though.

Hey my car is back on 4 tires. First time since November lol

Hey guys,

I'm still looking to replace that dead battery... then I plan on overhauling my ignition, though I am considering getting a 50KV coil and high performance module that will fit into the stock cap. I'm looking for better performance, particularly on the cold starts... any thoughts on these devices?

In the spring I have some paint detailing to get done - primarily the bolt heads for the fenders and hood. Something I never had the chance to do once I got everything pieced back together last year. I'm hoping a detailing gun (or perhaps an airbrush gun) with the proper masking will do the job without making too much of a mess.

I planned on getting 17x9.5 ARE Torq Thrust II's but Summit wants $500 a rim because they're a Custom offset. Which ROH's did you go with Josh? Do you guys think the Blue Ice ROH's would be too much Blue?

Well Finally the whole suspension is done and the car is holding it own on all 4 wheels again. Today I torqued all the bolts to spec, bled all 4 brakes, finished painting chassis, i think. (Car looks like that RS rob at tinkers that one show. The car that was orig a six.) Heads came off today.
Things to do.
-Connect over hang Ex pipe to inter pipe. (majorly bent)
-Make straight pipe from y pipe to inter pipe
-Jet-Hot Y pipe
-Connect converter to flywheel
-Put heads on
-assem upper half of motor

Fire it up and get prepared to fix something.

Well, the new battery is in... and I fired her up for the first time in months. Man, it was nice to hear that exhaust again!
:thumbup:

I just ordered some new bottles for under the hood - both the radiator overflow and the washer fluid reservoir. These were two of the things I was not able to get done last year.

I still have to find some time to get out to Summit and pick up those ignition parts, too...

I'm also going look into picking up a couple of stainless exhaust clamps from Stainless Works.

Can't wait for spring!!!
