Well the time has come for another winter sleep for my baby. But it will be a winter of clean-up and engine work. I'm going to rebuild the engine, refinish the seats,and get some new rims(i hope). Should be a very expensive winter!! Awell thing this we do for our cars. Does anybody here have any winter projects planed for their cars while there off the road?
I don't really store my car, as the winters are mild here in Seattle, so the car is driven weekly, even in the winter. But I am thinking about putting the car on jack stands, removing the wheels having all four resprayed. They are not damaged, but have a couple spots of peeling paint, and the last time tires were mounted they put the wheel weights on both sides of the rim, and I am thinking when the weights come off, paint is likely to come with them. I really like the brighter silver used on the 355/360 wheels as it makes them "pop" out more, so that is my plan.
Just like Dave, we here in the Northwest drive our cars all winter long, but I do have some-what big projects in line for mine (which will involve driving downtime): Get the dent on the nose fixed. Install new window felt, re&re power window system, install a new radio speaker and trace down some sort-of electrical short in the Passenger's side door. I'd also like to recheck the valve clearances. Check and possible rebuild of the waterpump. New fuel pump! Re-chrome the wheel bolts (some of them are really rusty!) Fluid changes: engine & tranny oil, brake, coolant
I expect to replace all the window trim, door seals. New wiper blades coming from UK. And clean/polish my suspension, I want to preserve last winter's work I'll probably make some tan seat covers as well, no $ for an interior this year.
I'm a commando type of guy, and my interiors are always black Fave has tan interior, you should ask him if he has seen color change
ROLMAO ! Your killing me today, I haven't laughed this hard ever. Where do you come up with these lines ?
Nope! Bought decent leather ones though. And a tooth brush and Spray Nine made a big difference to the rest. Now about those squeaky shocks... Bill
Good for you. The patina is partly due to driving with the windows down at high speeds. Great airflow through the interior. Gerrit
