Default Thank You Winter!

Ah, with winter comes less driving of my Mustang... Kind of sad, but also allows me to get more things done to it!

This is my winter 'to do' list!

- Shave decklid of spoiler and maybe emblems.
- Install custom vinyl strips.
- Paint calipers to match stripes (probably depends on if I get the wheels I want)
- Custom radio bezel painting (dash piece around the radio)
- Paint valve covers

I'm sure as I do these things or see other things I want, this list will change and probably grow. But wanted to see what everyone thought about winter and if they get more done during it too?

my car is stored in a different city then where all of my tools are, so no. i don't get crap done on my car during the winter. most of my work gets done in the spring.

i hate being cold while working on my car, so it all works out.

Gotcha man. I hate being cold too, but since I work outside or in a garage most days, I get kind of used to it...

You better have some plans for spring then!

I had a butt ton of plans for car this winter, but I decided buying a house seemed like a better idea.. so the car will most likely just be dragged from one garage to another.

Yup mine is parked about 30 minutes away from me. No tools, no heat and limited lighting in the garage so all my car does is sit during the winter.

I'll be driving mine too, but thankfully I plow snow (I hate snow...) and that allows me a truck for the bad weather days.
