Head/cam swap, including new lifters and all the little bells and whistles.

pulling motor and checking bearings.

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

removing emmissions system completely

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

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.

haha, tell me about it. I cant wait for it to be done. Just crossing my finger's for no tuning issues.

Im hoping for mid/high 13's on motor....... at my elevation, DA of 8400 on most day's. which is equal to mid/low 12's at sea level. Not going to be able to spray at the track until i get a roll bar though

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
