Winter projects! GO!!!!!!!!
What are everyone's plans this winter on their ride?
My engine just started having a wrist pin that wanted to come out and say hello so it is now parked ( 2 months earlier than need be lol ). If I have the funds I am going to be picking up a roller 351w and start the build of it. In the mean time I am going to be tubing the lower core support and front bumper. Then I am going to go back through the wiring harness and remove everything that is not necc. such as the air bag wiring, cruise control, and emissions wiring. I am also going to finish out the frame reinforcement with jacking rails and the cross beams that go with it...and anything else I can think of fabbing up myself
Then maybe if I get lucky I can start the work on my 83 finally and get some floor pans put in, subframe connectors installed, and the rest of the frame work....THEN if I get lucky I can get ahold of some wiring and start routing in the 96-04 body wiring at least and start the swap finally

I'm gonna try to get my wiring done. I have a new fuse block coming, so with a couple days off I should be able to get everything ran. Then some shiny new convertible motor mounts and I should have the Windsor in the car. At that point I'llhave to make a new list because it'll just be a bunch of small things and I'm bound to forget something important lol.

Probably do some wiring things I've wanted to do such as the fog light wiring so it'll stop overheating and turning off, mass air conversion, and HIDs with some BMW projectors like my last fox had. Probably do some suspension mods also.

Its may sound strange, but I never have winter plans. I never have money during the winter months with all the holidays. I don't have lots of extra cash laying around until income tax time. So I guess mine would be spring plans? My Mustang is in the garage right now getting tuned up and a few sensors replaced among other things. I plan to sell it this spring and buy a different Mustang, 05+ manual GT. Those are my spring plans! lol or listen to my wife, and after I sell it to redo my kitchen.
