I live in Phoenix, so winter is a much better season to work on my car since it's not 120 degrees in my garage.

I plan to:
- Finish up the paint in the trunk, re-install the battery box and cut-off switch, get some carpet or other stuff in there so it's looks finished despite the giant new wheel tubs.
- Finish installing all the damplifier sound deadener in the car, install the rest of the interior, except perhaps for the new "back seat solution" since I'm not sure how I'm going to do a rear-seat delete with the mini-tub in there, while retaining a "streetcar" look.
- Get the suspension set up at least close. I need to adjust all the coil-overs and get the car sitting correctly.


If all the planets aligned, maybe I'll try to get it fired up too. We'll see.

Paul.

Well this winter is gonna be focused less on my car and more on my buddies car. He just bought a 96 Tangerine GT vert. that needs some TLC. So Im gonna do some maintenance work on it, then PI intake/cams, and the usual boltons. Then once I get done with that, Im gonna do a couple things to mine. The plan for mine is:

Drop the gas tank and rear end out of it
Do a PPRV delete in the fuel tank
Plate and weld up the upper torque boxes
Install my Baseline relocated upper control arm kit
Install my Strange axles in the rear end
Delete ABS/install ABS delete manifold from Phil
Install 3" studs all around
Sell my rear Prostars and slicks and buy new wheels/tires in the correct size and backspace

I broke my t45 in august so my winter started early. My plans are 5.4 swap( which is already underway), upgrade the trans., and hopefully turbo kit with all of the supporting hardware. I started working at a gas company a few months back called Stallion and apparently winters are pretty busy so if I'm going to work my life away I might as well get some cool stuff for my car. lol
