Winter Projects

Is everybody still snowed in ? No posts from up North here all winter. Any good projects ?

The typical battery rust's led to the pan replacement, A-arm bushings were so bad there was a flat spot worn in the T bars. All the front suspension parts have been bead blasted & powder coated. Still waiting for the tank support, so everything's kinda on hold.
Today UPS dropped off a front oil cooler from a fellow pelican, One more thing on the to-do list. Am hoping to get the car all repainted & still have a chance to drive it this year.
Owned it a year & 1/2 , invested twice what I paid for it, & have only been able to drive it about 800 miles ! Too many upgrades.
At least the Formula 1 season's only a month away, spring cant be far behind.
Drive carefully Pelicans....Scott

Well I'm far behind on my project list...

Finally sent my broken tranny gears out on the racecar for replacement.

Probably 8-12 hours away from finishing the 993

Then I get started on cutting out the battery boxes on the racecar and putting the tranny back together...

Way behind...

Looks really nice though...

My 2008/2009 winter projects list:

1. G50 transmission conversion
2. Upgrade to double-adjustable shocks
3. Install lighter pro-engineered roll-cage to replace current one
4. Have fuel cell refreshed.
5. 18" wheels.
