Winter projects/goals

[jpratt]

This winter I plan on doing this to my car???

1. I have a spooled rear end sitting in the shop waiting to be installed
2. I am sick of all the gauges on the ttop console, a pillar and under radio. I really want to do a GNX style dash to get clean of the gauge package around the car.
3. A new radio with maybe xm radio but definitely iPod hook ups. Along with that I would like to get new lower door panels with larger speakers, maybe the one bweavy sells..
4. My car has power door locks that have never worked, would like to get them fixed and new switches for the power windows.
5. Car alarm would be nice to have after I get the power locks fixed
6. Get the under dash wires cleaned up and tucked out of site.
7. Figure out the digital climate control and get the AC charged and working correctly.

I have been collecting some of this stuff for a while now so a bunch is here already and I have started on the priority list in order of what "Needs" to be done then onto the "Likes" stuff.

The GNS Test Car will be getting the following:

* New Alpine head unit, Pioneer speakers, JVC powered sub, Orion Cobalt door speakers all from ( Gary @ Cartunz)
* Install GNX fender flares
* Install Double or Triple adjustable Coil overs
* Install 12.7:1 quick ratio steering box
* Install Detroit Tru-Track unit.
* Install GNX rear seat brace.
* Lower my front seats 2"
* Pull engine for inspection, gaskets to repair oil leaks and detail the engine bay.
* Have the wheels re-sized for the first time to even wider specs to fit a wider tire!
* Install upgraded steering shaft.
* Maybe a new paint job but that might be for next year....
* Nut & bolt check the entire car, change all fluids and be ready for the TB.com Auto-X!

-umi adjustable upper and lower control arms, and brace to support the lowers. G force crossmember with new stainless cat hanger and poly trans mount.

I have a lot to do...
Install brand new U & LTAs
Rebuild the front suspension with all new parts (except for control arms)
S10 Brakes in the front, LS1 in the rear w/ Adj Proportioning valve
New body bushings
Hellwig front and rear sway bars
New U-Joints front and rear
Paint rear-end, gas tank, and any other unattractive part on the undercarriage
Repair exhaust manifolds
New front seat covers
I am thinking maybe I might as well pull the engine and freshen it up. New rings, bearings, hone, valve job, balance, etc. Paint it up and drop it back in..
Tranny rebuild also in consideration.. if I have the funds.

Eventful winter it seems
