Trying to make room in the garage so I can put the '90 in there and work on it over the winter. Should be running this week and drivable next week. Then the tedious bodywork will be the winter job.

i'll be doing a little here and a little there. trying not to blow a ton of cash like every other year on this money pit. Want to leave the country again on a vacation, so we'll see what happens.

Hopefully building a shortblock and then purchasing a few more solenoids and nozzles to add a couple more stages of nitrous Need to multi-stage so I don't try to send too much torque through my Spec 3

Aside from that? HID lights, sound-deaden the entire inside of the car, and prep/paint new hood.

attempting to save some money, also have to look for some pos $500 car to last 3 months or so for the winter

Dude Tim is selling a PERFECT winter beater. I'm sure he'll see this and PM you.

1986 Toyota Camry. Not the coolest car in the world, but the damn thing just won't die. Few small things wrong with it, but nothing that it hasn't been driving with for the past 2-3 years. I'm sure he'll see this and PM you about it

Finish doing both rear quarters and then aligning the front body panels then painting the car.

Pulling the blown 355 out of it, and replacing it with the new motor that is being built.

Hopefully then it will be spring and the car will actually be finished.

There are always winter projects:

buy heater for my garage first...any one got one for sale local...looking for tube type

'92...Interior leather seats are getting recovered as we type in black leather with gold trim...should look sweet and give me a run at best interiors at 3rd gen fest 08...looking for new shifter plate...new drivers floor pan...exterior repaint of my doors and mirrors....install in dash DVD player ...add crossover and 4 channel amp for front speakers...sub frame connectors....strut tower brace if I find one to fit my modifications of CAI already in the car...trans shift kit...new rear tires or all around if I have enough cash

'86...Install new interior charcoal seats...inexpensive paint job....body work is finished...fix both window motors...remove door window tint...new tires

probably more but as always money will determine how much more I do...

dirtymeat80

well tell Tim to get on the ball

my GTA won't be too good on snow, not to mention I don't want salt up in everything, hence why I want a cheapy car to putt around in for a few months

86Niterider- by shifter plate you mean the one that covers the actual shifter in the car correct? if so i had mine made out of stainless steel by the tin knockers i work with then scuffed it with a tiger paw it came out AWESOME...........im sure i can have another made for next to nothing and it looks WAY better then stock....i can post a pic if you'd like to see it

Interesting...can I see pics...

Trans Am#5

Heads and cam swap for my '98...and...the search begins for a third gen since it somehow doesn't seem right in the garage without mine around anymore. So, if anyone has a lead on a cheap TRANS AM 86 to 90 (t-tops a must) send me a PM. Don't care about the motor but the body must be rust free.

Suspension on the Iroc and exhaust on the TA.

Thats all for her this year it was a beautiful mid 70's sunny day, drove around for about 2 hours put stay-bil and topped the tank. Gave it a good cleaning inside and out, and is now in winter storage, plan on refinishing the GTA wheels this winter and some general maintenance maybe rebuild the steering components.
I want to get the bumpers and formula hood painted this winter but we'll see how the money situation is doing before that.

Just before putting the cover on her.

i hope you plan on putting a sheet of plastic under that car since in the winter the concrete will wick out moisture which will rust out those floorpans. I randomly go into our attached garage and the plastic is completely soaked with water droplets under the plastic.

americanmuscle3

iTrader: (1)

is a heated garage subject to the same problem?

novadk13

thats what I was thinking the ceiling has R38 walls R13 and insulated door with the furnace at 50 degrees

xpndbl3

iTrader: (5)

yes the moisture wicks out of the concrete since the ground will be frozen or close to it. My garage is attached as well and the floor still has moisture, you can't tell unless you put plastic down. But I'll have droplets everywhere on the plastic during january-february cold cold weather. Garage is heated, but the concrete isn't heated

Thats a hell of a deal, i just went out there to pick up the relocation kit and Mt Et street radials, he gave me both for $100 and the Mt's only have about 6 passes on them. Thats a great deal on the 402. I am taking my ls1 block in next week to get built with the forges rods and pistons. Looks like were both going to have pretty built cars next year.

My fall project is to insulate my garage so I can have a winter project. Not sure what it will be though.

If all goes well, I will have a 1983 TA to tinker with by December. If that doesn't iron out, I have my Charger to deal with. Always something to do on that car.

novadk13

Dads giving me the 4bolt main 350 in the garage, selling the nissan and hopefully get a stroker going this winter. Hooray a project

I was hoping that I could make it through this winter without dumping a ton of cash into the Camaro, but I have failed.
I just treated myself to some new Prostar wheels 15x10 5.5bs (I did not have the courage to do the 6.5bs at this time, but they look awesome xpndbl3) and 15x4 for the front. They are wraped in Mickey Thompson S/R 26" tires.
The car is getting some new paint also. I will post pics as soon as it is all together in about 4 weeks.
I also ordered a vanity plate for the car: NAP TIME

iTrader: (5)

blown....you going 28" slick in the rear? I'm guessing with that gear and a supercharger it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Blown87

iTrader: (1)

Yes, for slicks I will use a 28", I just like the look of the 26" tire for the street.

xpndbl3

iTrader: (5)

good deal, I run 28s on all 4 corners myself. I'm happy with the extra clearance for the chin spoiler on trailers.

DuronClocker

iTrader: (1)

Wow, I forgot about this thread. Plans changed AGAIN since last time I posted in it. I actually HAVE the parts for this project this time *cough* Procharger *cough*

I'd also like to mention that there are going to be quite a few thirdgens and fourthgens that are going to be MUCH MUCH faster next year than they were this year, but I'm not giving out any secrets :P

Blown87

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, I have been following some of the members projects, and it seems there will be some heavy hitters next year. We will have to get together at the track sometime.
