It's been that time for sometime now, but what are some of your big winter wrenching plans. Does anyone expect to be done by spring? I myself plan to wrench on our 10 SS', just bolt ons, and a few cosmetics, you know how I like tastefull cosmetics.

Any rivals still brewing out there? Itching for spring? Those were the best times.

This thing is getting a new wiring harness. Other than that it's staying pretty much the same, with some real minor additions like a new boost gauge/controller.

Been throwing around the idea on pulling the trigger on a 2011-2014 Mustang GT. Just not 100% sure yet.

New set of 275/50/15 DR for the 81 Cuttie and Line Lock and that one will be ready. New 377 stroker for the little Jimmy and I need to change the 9inch from the 4.33s to a new set of 3.89s to kill some of the RPM that I had with the little V6. New set of rims for the 325/50/15 MT. That and 5or6 motors to get done before the season starts.

My main winter project is making a VR6 fit a Golf in a place it shouldn't.

Also, one throttle body short of my turbo rotary being back on the road for the first time since 2012.

I guess this is almost done too...built from scratch, finally just about ready to lacquer!

Still on the back burner: I have a 750 ready to drop into this 1991 GSX-R I bought for $100, and a RWD swapped Saturn that needs a powertrain installed.

Thinking of selling the truck, putting a little time into the csx, and then selling it. Considering getting a newer if not brand new challenger or wrangler (wife wouldn't mind a convertible). Either would be enjoyable and able to be useful more frequently than I am able to use either the truck or the csx now, especially given my work schedule.

Keeping my fingers crossed for a promotion so I can justify trading the Vibe in on something with the right number of cylenders and driving the correct axle.

The Mustang will get a new tire, thanks to a nail in an unfortunate spot of the tire that it picked up right before going into storage.

I hear ya, congrats by the way. Our first child (and a few other issues), is the reason I sold my 01 SS. Needed a more family friendly vehicle.


Are all the 10 sec street Mustangs still around? lol. Talk about street beast.

Replacing needle bearings in my M112 SC case, replace upper control arms, replace a new power steering pump, find a parasitic drain, put interior back together, dyno tune oh and paint the front end of the car. Can't start any of this until I finish my garage in this weather. But I'll take today and tomorrow off to stay warm.:fire (< Not mad, staying warm!)

Those cars have three times more moving parts in the front end than any car needs. And they're all wear items! I'm gonna sell my car before any of that shit wears out! :rolf
