I don't really store mine in hibernation but I do plan on installing a radio that I can actually here over my B&B exhaust.

*1991 Build this winter:Top Priority
*Working on an IH setup to remove the 2ndry boss
*Might make an airhorn replacement with two velocity stacks that also act as ram tubes(11" length)...feed them from a large air box in front of the radiator

If all goes well, I will finally get the convertible body built. Just need a free two weeks.

If you find an extra free 2 weeks when you find your free 2 weeks let me know as I could use some, too :)

Depends on the budget. At least headers, plenum and injector housing porting along with replacing as many soft parts as possible. Oh and drm coil over suspension.

If the money is right, then it will be way more than the above.

For now i'm happy to have the car.

I am hoping to get the following done:
Install windows auto down/up module
Fix breather box oil leak
Fix e-brake

Paint and install rockers
Maybe get my wheel centers redone

We will see how far I get

Well, aside from getting her fixed/painted-

Looking for another 18 ponies at the rear wheels:

TB to 63mm
Pete's cams and PC the top side (IF the motor has to come out to accommodate frame tweaking)
"Rip" the (2-1/2" inlet) MF muffs off and install the Dynamax 17228s/NPPs
re-tune and see what we get at the wheels!
kinda on the fence about the electric water pump tho - not wanting a repeat of Pete's experience, doanchaknow...

Come spring, I recon I'll have some catching up to do!
:cheers:

Fuel injectors. Then found a ported plenum and IH. This wasn't going to be a winter project, but still don't have all the stuff gathered up. Doing the starter, coils and wires while I'm under there. This started as an injector install, look where I'm at now.

My car was stored for 15 years. I plan on reversing that trend this winter. :D

First and foremost move to a warmer climate where my summer will be longer than 5 months. As you can see three of the girls got put away for the winter. The winter project that I have is fully porting the IH, Plenum and Throttle bodies for all three cars. Getting the heads done for both Wide bodies (via Pete) Cams in the Shinoda heads (via Pete) Shinoda body kit complete (via Brett) exhaust headers, X-pipe, custom center exhaust installed on the shinoda. Z06 brakes installed on the Shinoda.
That is if I can find the exhaust tips again.
Dom, I may need another set of exhaust tips.

Mine is sadly put up for the winter since I brokw 9 bones in my hand a few weeks back and can't safely drive. :( My winter projects are also on hold until I can use my hand again.

Bob,

I thought you had found that other set?

Bob,

I did, I looked for them today so I could see how much 3" and 2.5" stainless that I was going to need to complete the exhaust. I cleaned the garage out a couple of weeks ago, I am hoping I did not throw them away accidentally.

Nothing exciting this winter...
1.) Hopefully get the CD player fixed
2.) The leather on one of the side bolsters is marked from a previous owner. It looks like they were climbing in and out of the car with a massive leather belt. Any suggestions on anyone that offers mail-in leather refurbishing?
