Interior to remove sound deadening
brake lines to put on SS braided teflon lines
front bumper to fix burnt out fog light and a deer kicked my bumper(popped out on the highway when I was still NA, almost hit it but i has driver mod) and apparently broke the fog light bracket, didnt mess the paint up though. Headlights need to be sealed... again.
rims need to be clay barred/waxed b/c the rear brake caliper brackets were rubbing the outside of the rotor and covered them in brake dust.
Basically doing everything that I should have done the past 2 months but I was sick of the car after the M112 swap.

haha i know the feeling. i havent touched my car for a while. the battery just died and im not going to buy a new one for at least a week (wont hold a charge) i havent changed the oil in probably 10 months, probably has a little more than 2000 on last oil change. going to do that soon, moneys pretty tight.
is it ok to claybar wheels? i never thought about doing that. when are you getting a tune again?

I dont see why i cant claybar the wheels. If its safe for paint its gotta be safe for powdercoat.
car is getting tuned whenever I pay my phone bill off and i have at least $500 to play with. Maybe late september but hopefully before that.
I dropped the oil in my car yesterday.. prob has 12,000 kms on it... I change every 10K. Bad thing is I dont know when the last time I changed the oil, last summer sometime.

Always synthetic 5w30. I forget what oil I bought, I think Castrol. Usually run Quaker HP but didnt want to make a run to the city for that.
Thinking I might as well fix the oil pan gasket while the oil is out. But Im not sure I want to tackle that with the engine in the car, and no way to hoist it.

i was going to suggest an engine support bar, but i bet the m112 is to tall for that. you could make your own if youre feeling crafty
i just thought of it, did you ever get one of those driveshafts from an aerostar yet?

Car will be tuned by October, just switched oil drilling companies and I actually have a steady job.
Winter plans:
a) build custom motor mounts to lower the motor and hopefully clear the stock hood. But then I will have to modify exhaust and a buncha other things.
b) 4.2, forged rods/pistons, custom cam, P&P'd, larger valves, beehive springs, manual steering swap and tubular K member w/ CO's in the front.
c) keep stock 3.8/M112 in car, tubular K member w/ CO's, IRS, SFC's... basically all suspension mods.
