Default What is your winter project?

I posted this on another forum, but it seems pretty appropriate here.

So...what is your winter projects on your Race/Track cars? Last year, I had a LOOOONG list. I finished most of it, but here is the 2009/2010 winter list...

HUEY Projects:
- Install Tilton Brake Bias adjuster (project from last year)
- install blade fuse panel (from last year)
- re-do door panels
- re-do dash face
- new plug wires
- carpeting (from last year) with soundproofing on fire wall (its kind of a street car)
- relocate battery
- new muffler
- new clutch/pressure plate
- limited slip???
- new suspension - maybe Koni adjustable or something
- figure out how to make 914-6/911 left hand key ignition
- fix an old/new oil leak that is driving me crazy
- fix weird ignition problem
- maybe do megasquirt EFI....not sure yet...maybe just PMO carbs

PAPA SMURF Projects:
- new clutch/pp/lwfw
- limited slip
- install hood pins
- scrape tar off floor/paint pass compartment
- make new custom wiring harness
- fix fuel guage/sending unit
- fix temp guage/sending unit
- repair fiberglass from agricutural excursion of 2008 at VIR (from last year)
- rear brake pads
- re-do dash and guages

Thats it for me, I think...

Anyone else?

Then when that is done,
Cool Suit

Data Aquisition
Short Shift
Revise exhaust, see if getting rid of the cat helps or hurts
