Winter Project Ideas???

Well winter is right around the corner and I'm lookin to do some work to the car.
I have about a $1500 budget but that does not include a motor bc I have a line a ready to run 350. so hopefully I will get that. But what else to do? Anyone have any ideas for me. Just look at my sig to see what I already have done. also if you happen to have something for sale I might be interested in let me know. I plan on starting to gather the parts around the middle of this month and working on this over the winter months(well warmer winter months my garage is no insulated or heated).

Sub-frame connectors and strut tower brace as well as tubular sub-frame. I Believe you can get all of the from spohn performance for around $1100.00. Finish with an alignment, that should eat up your budget nicely. You wont regret the s/f connectors.

Re: Winter Project Ideas???

you have no rear suspension pieces listed in your sig... LCARBs, lca's, adjustable panhard, and shocks and struts should eat up that budget nicely
