Winter Work!, What do you have planned? Options

[rwilner]

Well, I know you west coast guys drive your cars all year, but up here in Boston there's a foot of snow in the forecast...

What do folks have planned for the off-season? Here's my plan:

• Trans Rebuild -- packed and shipped down to Blue Sky already
• Rip out old carpet, remove tar, POR15, dynamat, new carpet kit from 914AP
• recondition my bumper tops, Install my new-to-me rear bumper
• the usual: oil/filter change, valve adjust, spark plugs
• Replace my driver's-side front trunk flapper valve (this one should be fun)
• Re-route my pass side oil cooler lines so I can reclaim pass side heat

That's all I can think of for now. After this winter my car should be good to go for awhile, barring any additional unforeseen events -- got to get her totally sorted for some DE events in the spring!

Let's hear your plans.

Just finished building a 2432 stroker motor that should make close to 200HP and 200LbsFt of Torque, the latter from 3500 through 6000RPM. That should be entertaining. Need to fire it and break the cam in probably next week then dress it up with the SDS injection including crank fired ignition. Goal here is to have it well tuned and have some street seat time before the spring autocross and track days start. Thanks to Raby Aircooled Technology for the recipe and the parts to do this engine...

Next up, McMark will be welding on some steel flares and we will fit some Getty flared valances and rockers. Rear will be custom flared stock. This means I will be putting on my custom built RSR finish 8.5X16 rear and 7X16 front wheels with some Hoosier A6 shoes. Thanks to Weidman Wheels for making these up for me...

Also this winter, a little more interior work. I have ordered door panels and carpet from 914AP in November and I hope it comes soon as I have some work to do on my doors and I want everything here when I do.
