Winter Plans - What are you doing?

Montess2k · Administrator- Comic Relief

My sole goal for my Monte is to get the Transmission issues worked out...enough that I have confidence to take it on minimum trips like Li and Seapirate and Carlisle....hopefully after this next trip to ecs, that gets everything worked out...and if all goes well the big test would be Ocean City later in the year...for now back to baby steps...

As for the GTO full suspension upgrades:
January: Purchase Full Bushings kit
Feburary: Purchase Hotchkis Sway Bars
March: Full Peddlers Street 2 kit and have all of the above install By Rocks&Racing

If the above goes well on both, then full dyno tunes for both (possibly by Kaltech) in April, and thats it for the year...

I hope that nothing needs done to the "07". I am going to take the motor and trans out of the "71" starting next week. Then I am going to do the repair to the fenders then take the interior out and clean up any rust that may be underneeth the carpet.

Well, All I want to do is get new tires and maybe a MSD box for the 86. And some updates on the 01. Mostly want to get my truck fixed up. But Like Rich said, it's all depending on cash flow.

Oh and it all depends on what Matt decides he wants to do to the 84

For the cavi.
First pull the motor an bore it out, new rods and pistons, head work, and turbo cams.
Second redo the exhaust from down pipe back.
Third intercooler an piping.

All depends on what money is left after getting a new truck.

i was going to get a 200r4 for the car but i think i'd rather have the garage drywalled and the siding done on the outside. so i realy don't plan on doing anything to it other then putting fuel in it and that costs enough..lol plus right now it's another storage unit all of the kids gifts are locked in the trunk..lol

Same here ... except I don't have to see mine, if I don't want to. They're out in a heated garage just west of town. I usually go out once a month or so.

I'm just glad I finally have a winter beater to keep the '87 MC LS/CL from the winter weather!

I have no plans. I need to wax my Jeffy car, it is in the garage for the winter, so when I want to get the woodstove going, I will go out and do it.

In the spring before I take him out, it needs new rotors, I have been putting this off and I have a new set of tires to put on it.

Donna, I installed a set of Summit Slotted and drilled Rotors on the 01 along with the Hawk brake pads, front and rear. It was actually less expensive than OEM style from Advance and they stop so much better!
