My entire Christmas list is for my car. I know my sister got me a brand new overflow tank...I peeked. Other than that, who knows what I'm getting. I've got everything from taillight black outs, subs and an amp, and rims to a tranny rebuild on the list.

LOL.. I'm slipping... not one thing for my car went on my Christmas list; not even tools! Bought myself a few though, in passing... bought the Eastwood Company's fuel injector test light set (with spark plug tester) in it's own red case (cool!) for $12, and a pen meter from Sunpro's garage sale website.

I always ask... but never get parts for Christmas. I think that "MOMO steering wheel" has been on the list for 3 years straight now. That one always gets rejected, but "New Levi's" always seems to make the cut. Oh well.

Yeah, don't really have any things that could qualify as a christmas gift... I don't think anyone's gonna pop $1800 for a TIG welder, or know where to get me a full set of 4th gen seats, or get me a set of Snap-On impact sockets, metric, deep, part # 315SIMMYA (go to snapon.com, then the catalog link, then browse catalog, then put 315SIMMYA in the "search for" box, and choose "part #" from the "by" box, click GO"...

Wow, three years, that sucks. Time to return the levi's and get the steering wheel!

I'm getting another 2.8, and rebuilding the WC T5 that comes with it... the 2.8 will get a 204/214 .420" .443" MTC-5 cam put in, and I'm going to home port the heads, intake, then remove the EGR and smog pump - reprogram the PROM, blah blah blah... doing lots.

I got a brand new coolant overflow tank! It's so pretty...now I need the washer fluid tank to match! Or even better..remove it since the switch is broken and I don't use it....wonder what I'd mount there... And with my Christmas money, I'm going to get new tires, taillight blackouts, and a new water pump.. (For now!)

Nixon, my brother has had his car for 2 years and since then its gone through entire restoration, rebuild engine, and this xmas he got a new rear end with posi-trac, with I think 3.50 gears. Now I think that Im gettin this stuff just because my car cost less, and they put other expensive mods into his car. So basically they are tryin to make it even, by the way his car is a 65 mustang.

Wowsa. Two of my friends have 65 Mustangs..one is a 289 and the other is a straight 6. The straight 6 is a hunk of ****..the 289 makes me jealous though. I hate anyone who can just punch the gas, and lay tread for 15 feet..... At least it's still a good old peg leg like me....
