Well, I know you west coast guys drive your cars all year, but up here in Boston there's a foot of snow in the forecast...

What do folks have planned for the off-season? Here's my plan:
  • Trans Rebuild -- packed and shipped down to Blue Sky already
  • Rip out old carpet, remove tar, POR15, dynamat, new carpet kit from 914AP
  • recondition my bumper tops, Install my new-to-me rear bumper
  • the usual: oil/filter change, valve adjust, spark plugs
  • Replace my driver's-side front trunk flapper valve (this one should be fun)
  • Re-route my pass side oil cooler lines so I can reclaim pass side heat

That's all I can think of for now. After this winter my car should be good to go for awhile, barring any additional unforeseen events -- got to get her totally sorted for some DE events in the spring!

Let's hear your plans.

I'm heading back to the desert next week so no car work for me until the Fall. On the bright side, by then I'll have enough cash saved up to do a complete 914 resto and still buy myself a new motorcycle.

As I enter the new year out of work I'll have time to:

Degrease and reseal my GC 2.0L
Rebuild pair of 40mm Webers
Repair rust in trunk and hell hole area
Install flares, nose, and tail
Find some racing buckets and redo interior

I've learned that you never get the time back so use it wisely.

Yeah Rob...sure... We just got pounded with 5-10 inches of rain in a week . We don't know how to handle that down here.

I hope its not a sign of things to come for us down here this winter.

Not as many plans as I had last year.

I need to get a pipe expander and work on my exhaust a bit, and pretty up some wires, but other then that, its ready for driving in the spring.

Will the 7" Fuchs clear the stock fenders, or did you have them pulled?

My car seems to get pulled into dd status frequently lately when the kids cars die (old bmws) and I have to lend one of 'em my old bmw. Just had to replace an alternator on one last week, and I'm waiting for the clutch cylinder to come in for the other.

so-
I GOTTA fix that heater blower ASAP
