man, I'm planning on getting out the T/A in three weeks... I think she might need a battery this year, but right after that she's going to the exhaust shop- true dual setup- only the best for my baby.

Yeah our weather is awesome now, but come summertime, I'll need to put freon in the radiator just to keep the engine cool. Probably sit on a block of dry ice, Black T-top car, what was I thinking.

I dunno I don't mind the winters. Gives me time to work on the car and relax alittle.

Also, there's nothing better in the world then rolling down those windows and going for a cruise on the first few warm days of spring...

Damn can't wait!

Mine resides in a nice garage all winter long. I ove letting it sit during the winter, that is when I get and do most of my ideas. I can work on the car with no rush.

yea I agree. having a garage makes winter perfect for the mods as long as you got a daily driver. Working on my TA is much much more enjoyable when I'm not rushed, and worried about having to drive it to work the next day.... This winter has been great (wheels, tires, brakes, rear, weight removal, ec.).

Chrome hit it right on the head. Something about taking that first ride every spring with the T-tops off. Can't wait to feel the difference of all the stuff I've changed.

yeah i have been doing a bit to mine this winter too but i am working on her outside. I've got the whole plenum and runner and fuel rails removed but then it started to blizzard out so i had to come inside. I wish I had room in the garage to store it but those are for the daily drivers. Can't wait to get this intake ported and put all back together. If only the snow would stop.
