Got all this stuff, can't wait for spring!

This cold is driving me nuts! Over the past month, and over $600 later, I got a IROC hood, IROC tail lights, a new dash pad, grey and black 4th gen seats. Now all I need is some nice weather to finish my car!
Go to my website to see it... more pics should come soon.

I miss my Camaro!!

Same here. I got Sub Frame Connectors and a 145mph dash cluster with white face guages, red painted needles, and Xenon Blue bulbs. I also bought all new weather stripping and am going to rebuild my door panels. My rear rotors need to be replaced so I'm going to order a pair of the new Baer L.I.T.E. rotors within a month or so. Maybe over spring break I will get to see my car and do some work on it, but I won't get to drive my car until this semester's over and I'm home. As soon as it stars getting warm out all my thoughts go to my car and I can't think of anything else!

Man if you really loved your car you would brave the frost-bite and get with it. A little cold never killed anybody

Weather is a bitch man. I had to fix my tran dipstick from leaking so I took my crab cooker and filled it full of water and boiled it in my garage to get some heat. Also to get all that damn salt from underneath. That seemed to do the trick enough to get the temp up a little. Talk about desperate.

Man I'm glad I live in Texas. I can work on and drive my car year round. Unfortunately, I picked the one cold week of the year to swap in my 350 last year, and I picked the one day it was sleeting to put in my stereo. I know how you guys on campus feel though. My car broke down at home in Waco, and I was stuck for a month in College Station with only my bike for transportation.

I agree with you guys. i am swapping a 350 into my bird and i would like it to get warm(and my buddies 71 firebird out my garage)to get started. I scored an entire set of T/A ground effects, nose, all the side gfx, rear bumber and T/A lights for less than 150 bucks, I was pretty fired up. now something needs to be done about the weather.
