Winter projects
The only thing that gets me through the cold months is a winter project. Anyone care to share their list of mods planned this winter? The list below should take up the majority of my limited free time.
Here's my list for now.
1. Install heater in garage
2. Install JIC cross suspension
3. powder coat or paint black 17" cups for autox/track use
4. change fluids
5. LSD if I can locate one for a good deal

Even though we dont get much of a winter per se, and even though its been in the 90's the last few days, I need to install new valve guides, valve job and whatever else needed, like a set of Carrillo's.
Gotta finish rebuilding my set of Moton triples, long overdue to finish these, then to make some mounting bits to dyno them.
Suspension geometry mapping, waaay overdue to complete this task.
Rent storage space to clean out my garage of the stuff I dont use much but dont want to get rid of.
Complete the restoration of a few vintage Honda XR75's I have been collecting parts for.
Ahhh, then there is some home remodel projects I am close to being done with, light switches and outlets. Where does the time go?

1. Finish new garage off. The gas line and power will be in next week and now I can finally work on the cars in winter instead of just storing them.
2. Install new cabinets
3. Put off all jobs that would be much easier on the lift that I won't have until next year.
4. First oil change.
5. Change clutch slave, master and hose and wish I had a lift.
6. Install console tray in lieu of cassette holder (big job)
7. Finish a dozen jobs on the 'Cuda so I can sell it in the spring and pay for a suspension upgrade on the 993

When I built the house, I spent thousands on the garage. 2.5 car, gas blower type heater, sheet rocked and insulated, 20-5' double bulb lights, insulated doors, work bench, epoxy floor(needs to be re-done) air piped around garge, TONS of outlets, 220v for the welder, TV and kick *** stereo system.
That is my second home.
