I thought it would be a good idea for everyone to post what they intend to do before the wcc, and as then accomplish it, come back and cross out what they have finished, and when they finished it!

So.. Heres a thread!

Some good guidelines. if you have a big jumble like me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Exterior
Interior
Suspension
Engine
Things to buy

So... Have at it!

Hmm... did this on my blog.

Within the next month or two I will:
-Increase displacement from 1.8L to 1911 with a 96mm P&C kit, bump the compression.
-Install a lightened flywheel (12 or 13 lbs).
-Install new chromoly pushrods.
-Install a pair of refurbed stock 2.0 heads.
-This should make for a sweet fast-revving 1911cc, still usable with my L-Jet (read: low investment cost, good power gains).
-Re-do my door panels with some GT look... smooth with only window winder and door latch.
-Weld in rear-trunk hinge console to have a closing trunk.

Within the next three to four months I will:
-Do some bodywork (new panels, fill some holes).
-Remove the wheel-well fender lips (clean-shaven).
-Change the wheel well openings from square-ish to round... who the hell makes square wheels? No need for flares (yet).
-New front and rear trunk seals ($KA-CHING$)
-Shave 200lbs by gutting my rubber bumpers, fabbing some custom aluminum mounts with a series of rivets, bolts, washers, and aluminum sheetmetal.
-PAINT IT A PRIMARY MATCHING COLOR. Contemplating a "Stripe" clone, but 2 of them with some metallic blue?

Within the next five months:
-New windshield.
-Wash it.

Wash car.
Maybe install an aftermarket steering wheel.



Evidently I have to buy a bunch of parts between now and then so Joe can take my car home after WCC and do a little work to it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif)
