The Cobra will relax in my heated, cement-floored pole barn while I repaint the calipers and intake, change pads and rotors, wet sand my tail lights, paint my door cups/center stack trim gloss black, change my filler neck seal, restore my headlights (again), and make a center-stack plaque with an extra SVT badge I have laying around. Oh, and I'm getting new tires!!

my car will endure the winter, like it does every year. no time or money for upgrades or fixes. the car will be the same in the spring as it sits now, with just a bout 10,000 miles more.

I'll be driving mine all winter too. Not in the rain though.
No snow in Atlanta. ha

ARdoller · Nov 20, 2009

rain, snow, sleet, hail, tsunami, or volcano eruption, my car is gonna be on the road. its a car, the last time i checked, it didnt have a say or an opinion about driving in weather conditions.

Im building up my rear axle and repairing my T5. the axle is getting new clutches, 3.55 gears, C clip elims, all new bearings, synthetic fluids and a TA Performance/Saleen stud girdle, along with a new paint job and general de-rusting and de-griming.

The T5 is getting billet shift forks and new bearings, a general going-over and slapped back in.

The car is going to get a good cleaning, some oil leaks fixed, a MS2 kit with distributorless ignition. then Im on to the next build.... which is a 351w for this car with a blower.

Well, fresh engine for the race car. I have a spare shortblock for it, just needs final honing and assembled. As for the vert, well, adjustable front lower A arms to center those big wheels in the fenderwell. Also 91 to 93 GT ground effects that go between the bumper cover and the wheel, they are narrower for more tire clearance, and should help out a bunch. Then it's down to get the floor fixed in two small spots, and the underneath cleaned and POR15'd by the guy that painted my race car for me. Then another friend is going to just detail out the interior with blue accents where there is black on the door panels currently and just button it up. Then it's off to get detailed and put away under a cover.
My red/orange coupe is getting a cage good to 7.50's put in it, then it's going down to the same guy painted the other car, and he's going to work his magic on it. Can't wait to see that one! He owes me a paint job for putting an engine in his car earlier this year. Other than that, no plans on any new projects. Just finishing up the existing ones. Once these sell, then there will be two more that I have on a back burner for now, that will be very cool and very fast for what they are.

MAC exhaust, All the bolt ons, TFS T/B and plenum, JLT RAI, get a set of 4.10 gears if I do the PI swap, and am deciding on either the PI swap, or just save up for an on3 turbo kit and keep my 3.27's...........

we'll see.

Orange Stang · Nov 27, 2009

oh yea, and polish everything out in my 04's engine bay........................

BrandoGT · Nov 27, 2009

begin by taking car of the little bit of cancer that it has developed. pull the motor, paint it, and go from there. Unfortunately it will be down for a little bit longer that winter, I guess I am shooting for spring of 2011

I plan on GT40 head, explorer intake, tfs stage 1 cam, some interior mods, maybe the LED gauge trick, I wanna do some custom SLP side pipes. And hopefully some suspension on the black cobra
