Default Winter projects...

I've been waiting awhile for this thead, so screw, I'm gonna start it.

I've got plenty on my plate this winter...

3g alternator swap
March Alternator bracket/tensioner delete
AIR pump delete
BeCool aluminum radiator
Lincoln Mark VIII electric fan
Dakota Digital fan controller (dcc won't respond to emails...)
Solid Aluminum tranny cross member bushings
Prothane tranny mount
Correct ARP stainless 6 pnt header bolts to replace my 12 pnts
MM full length XL subframes
Battle Boxes
Adjustable pinion subber
Driveshaft safety hoop
Tilt column swap
Alarm install (had one before, so the wiring is already chopped)
iPod controller for my deck.
8" subs in doors
5.25" MB Quarts in kick panels
Adcom GFA-4404 to run the highs, keeping my Audio Art 50HC and cheap 12s in the hatch for this year.

I also just bought SN-95 spindles and brakes... I doubt that I'll be able to afford the rest of the 5 lug this winter, but it still exists..

All that is in addition to my late summer plan of ported/polished GT-40 heads, matched Cobra intake, and bumpstick... She should be coming along nicely come September...

So... What are YOUR plans this winter?

Was nothing maybe a 100 shot in the spring but its looking like I may have a 306 rebuild[X(].. but that means I'll stall it too since the engine is out

I dont have too much planned for the winter.

all the t-top weatherstripping
possibly 3.73's
exhaust (still undecided as to the specifics)
and finally get around to finding and fixing this coolant leak thats been bugging me.
