It's that time of the year again So what are your plans for winter build 2018? Please include your goals and list of projects: Here is my list: - Replace Front Windshield (big crack ) - Install 2Gb side skirts and paint them - Install 2Gb 1999 white cluster (tempting) - Rear end needs a refresh. Possibly dropping subframe and wire brushing everything, sand blasting subframe plus new bushings, under chassis coating with POR15. - Check and replace rear brake lines - Install LSD 2Ga Rear Diff with axles - Rear camber kit - 3G stuff --> rear sway bar, control arms, end links - High z injectors and WALBRO 450LPH What is on your list?

This feels a bit pre mature!!
I still have hopes that I will be able to get a little driving in before the salt comes.

My list is:
Put her to bed for 5 months... Spring time, Install new Evo X front bumper Body Shop (Deep will make her look good) Fix rust, touch up paint or new colour! Black out the roof Fix hand brake drums... Stupid set up, car doesn't use caliper to park car, it's drum style inside the rotor hub. They're sticking mad! Put felts on front windows so tints don't get ruined! 2nd set of tints already! That's it, drive it like I stole it! haha...

new ? they still make them? i need gray one for 2G Body Shop (Deep will make her look good) Fix rust, touch up
Deep did my front bumper. Holding really well after several years Acquire another set of Evo 8 wheel or FD wheels and some slicks to match. ^ I think i know a guy who's got my spare set Drink plenty of whiskey until some sort of progress magically happens Do I have to come hand deliver some freshly coated parts and spend a week on your couch to get it moving? I'm flying over with bottle of good whiskey. Lets make it happen
