Cleaning up engine bay, hiding some wire's is possible.

removing A/C completely
relocating battery to the trunk
fixing power windows that jerk and shake when being put up or down
maybe new seats if i can swing the $800 for racing seats
maybe new carpet and sound dentning stuff
buying some 11.5x26" mickys to replace my current 9.5x26"
I think thats it I have planed for now off the top of my head......

Hopefully going to get a job and get a nice Trickflow intake, heads, and custom cam. THen replace every damn seal on the car and replace my ugly door panels. :/ Mass batch carpet and new rear carpet also.
And now thanks to Almost Stock, going to polish all parts I have. I have many of the parts ready but I've just been very lazy. Also going to do the mass air conversion which I'll need help with.

Well my winter project is to sit here on the computer and slowly get my parts ordered and see what all I can put back from this deployment to put into the car until I get home. I already have part of my battery relocation kit, I'm getting 4 Optima red tops for free 
, I am supposed to be getting a fiberglass hood next weekend (craigslist), and I already built some lower torque box reinforcements. Then after the first of the year I will be home finally then I can
fix the crap welding in the engine bay from previous owner
finish putting my motor back together (new cam and valve springs)
swap my ignition stuff from the 83 to the 93
get the t5 put into the car
get the 93's interior collected up and intalled (including 99+ front seats)
BBK springs
MT ET streets
Basically try to make this car a whole car
