Yep, time to put em away for the winter, for us Northerners anyways. Just seeing what everybody plans on doin to there ride this winter? All Im adding is Cobra R Calipers front and back and some Zinc coated cross drilled and slotted rotors, 13" and 11.65" Also need to have a bearing replaced on the Vortech. Other than that pretty slow winter

Well if all goes as planned mine is gonna roll out of storage in the spring like a different car...fresh paint, new interior, a few more go fast goodies. I'll just be happy to drive it again.
 
i have it up on jack stands now. had the wheels rebalanced and tightened up a loose exhaust. While its up I have subframe connectors that I should put on and I started looking at how to run a turbo. Just trying to figure out if Im mentally prepared to dig into another big project.
 
my car might be getting new rad hoses, AC delete, a new dimmer dial and if i can get the parts a e-fan of some kind.
her car gets a tuner new rear tires and hopefully some body and paint work.
 
So far I have planned to add Strange Engineering shocks/struts, FRPP B springs with new isolators, and MM full length sub frame connectors. I'm hoping it will ride and drive like a whole new car because it all original right now. The SFCs will go one first and then the rest when I get the springs and rear shocks.
 
After tax returns, freshen up the stock short block and go H/C/I. Looking to "break the mold" and make a little more than 300rwhp. By little, I mean hopefully a lot. :D Let's just say the heads and intake I'm looking at would be happy on top of a 347-363 stroker...

Also, the car is getting a 130A alternator conversion as of now. Just need to finish up the wiring. I hate soldering.
 
Mine isnt all car project,but mine winter plans are 1:finish getting custody of my daughter.2:get a bigger house.3:finish the turbo and tuned. and yes in that order. peace

Waiting on my tuner, then i can install my exhaust shooting for 600rwhp and 1200rwtq :D
Fox is getting another 347 with AFR 185 comp ports shooting for 400rwhp
Its been a blessed christmas so far :banana:
 
re doing my rear suspension right now... rear is laying on the gound. just need to find a impact socket i can get in to get the driveshaft bolts off. just bent the only 12pt 12mm boxend wrench i had
 
Get the engine back together, again.. mach 1000 amp and sub install to augment the mach 460 in there now, Cobra front brakes, New 94-97 Cobra wheels, Fix the sagging headliner, New black sunvisors, 99-04 rear seat to match the fronts, new A/C compressor, Install the V8 Cruise modulator so I can have working cruise, and some body work...

Wife's 90 notch -
5-lug conversion (2001 GT stuff from my 93). Keep the 4cyl,full exhaust finally, springs so it does not sit like a truck.
