Body Work, Paint, and Factory Decales. Interrior is going to get started today doing everything new even the weather stripping. As a Late present after interrior is redone my bro is paying for window tint. Starting the new year with a brand new car it feels like.
Re: What did your Third Gen get for Christmas?
Where are you storing that car? If you can get the car Plymouth, Kelly from Kelly's Towing stores cars for the Camaro club and also the local Porsche dealer. I think his pricing was around $300 or so (could be wrong) for club members from November till May.

Re: What did your Third Gen get for Christmas?
Yeah, it's not cheap. Kind of sucks. There are cheaper places around certainly, but the security isn't nearly as good.
It's at a PS unit somewhere in the suburbs. I like the unit, it's much more secure than any of the others I looked at back in '08, and the air is pretty dry overall, and it's a pretty new facility. I am tired of the annual price increases though, IMO my rate should be locked, or at least I should have some kind of freeze on my price hikes since I've been there 3.5 years. I won't stand for when it goes up to $185 this July, which I'm sure it will since it goes up $13 every year. For a non-climate controlled unit, that's asinine even to me. I decided that when spring comes, I'm going to look seriously into other options because I basically have to add the price onto whatever I'm paying in rent for an apartment and compare that to what a house would cost. I've been apprehensive about moving it to another unit since I feel I shouldn't mess with a garage that seems to work ok, but I need an alternative; I am definitely going to look into what you suggested, I was previously unaware of that. My wife and I have been at my dad's since we came home from Japan in September, but we are moving into an apartment of our own on Friday (finally...) in uptown so it looks like I'm stuck with a storage garage for at least another 2-3 years so I need to look at other options. Just not quite at the house buying stage which sucks...really limits the time I can play with the car.
Nope.
Mine's in the same boat. With the exception of 1 month in summer 2010 that I had it out, it's been in storage since 7/08 so by the time spring comes, it'll be close to four years of being in storage. Mine needs a solid $4k in work to be really roadworthy again. It needs every fluid sans tranny flushed, and it needs a battery, a serpentine belt, cap/rotor/pcv/etc., one of my hi beams is burned out and one of the low beams holds moisture so I may as well replace all four, the AC doesn't hold a charge, I found out last time I started the car that the wipers don't work on the highest speed setting (they just go up and down about 2-3", odd since the other settings all work), and I'm sure there are a few other miscellaneous things that will become apparent when I start putting miles on it again. It also needs tires all around and an aligment. Going to be an expensive spring, if the wife approves...
