Winter plans for your car?
It's that time of year again. Winter is rapidly approaching, which usually means the off season for these cars. I know some of you guys brave the winter in these cars, but some of us park them for the winter, or perhaps your car isn't running yet at all! So post up your winter plans for your car. I'll start, listed in descending order of likelihood of actually happening:
1. Fix the slow window problem, and adjust window guides to eliminate rattle
2. Remove old sound deadening from car
3. Install new Door Panels (Much thanks to Keith (Creeper) for picking them up for me
4. Finish bolting in passenger seat
5. Install new rearview mirror
6. Purchase and install blendmount for Scangauge
7. Relocate battery to the trunk
8. Repair and install old LED taillights
That's it for me really. If I can manage to secure some funding, I have some other mods queued for Spring including bodywork, a rollbar, and new headlights with retrofitted projectors.

Hopefully stuff that will make a chute in the back required.

I don't have much planned but will prob do the following:
- New front suspension (adj. shocks, etc)
- Upgrade the front brakes
- Finish a few cosmetic details on the car.
- Have my shift knob wrapped/stitched to match the new boot and other custom leather pieces.
I may get the car repainted next year but we will see.

To get rear in the car, take it to atco before it closes, get kicked off the track again and then start saving for a roll bar. lol.
I might make new door panels for it and get new seats that I've been wanting for a bit. Take the K member out, a arms and some other suspension **** and have it re-powder coated. Seems that it is flaking off after a few years.
We'll see what else. Nothing else major needs to be done to the car as of now. I think I covered most of that. Now it is just **** to make it better IMO for myself.

Gonna let the car sit in the driveway all winter with a broken 10 bolt. Hopefully working all winter will lead to me having a 9 inch by the spring. Besides that I may work on cleaning up the engine bay and interior a little bit. Nothing crazy.
Edit: BLS headlights too

Leave it parked and covered in the garage until it's randomly 60 degrees and sunny in December(it could happen).

99 is getting ai 243's, camshaft and ls6 intake, hopefully will have enough for a tick stage 3 trans and have my clutch and tick master cylnder installed. Maybe a torque arm or sfc's will make the budget but I doubt it..
84 is getting demoded, possibly a partial part out
Edit
TA and SFC's made the budget thanks to black Friday.

Camaro... look at old photos and pour one out.
By June-ish I'll probably be purchasing another 1995. Haven't decided if I'm sticking to silver or not.

looking to change out the front koni's for some penske DA to match the penske's in the rear. Get 4 new hoosiers mounted up. maybe some more weight loss. A new exhaust, at the national tour race at dover, the sound police got me at 97db @50 feet which is the max and that was w/cats.

89 formula is sitting in my driveway with an all weather car cover till it gets a new engine rebuild probably in january or february. 86 i'm planning on getting that black spray to seal underneath that they put on truck beds. It already had it done at one point, but it's wearing and chipping off now
The 86 is going to brave the winter weather and snow until the 89 is up and running again =)

Explorer: Drive it & wash it
Camaro: Uncover it occasionally so I remember what it looks like. Oil change in the spring.
Nothing exciting car-wise, just the same as it is every year. Only exciting news is on the water-front
97: Fixed reverse bucket
08: Finish de-stickering. Some engine and some hull mods were done a month ago.
