A little winter planning update. As long as everything goes according to plan, I should be keeping it. It's burried in 4 ft of nice clean salt free snow, so not worried about more rust showing up. I've been brainstorming up what needs to be done. Sold my cams, so replacements will have to be purchased closer to spring. Here's a little list of things to do after I figure out what's exactly wrong-

1.struts, mine are crap.
2.brakes, rear calipers getting replaced, and some sort of upgrade to the fronts (3kgt vr4 or cobra?)
3.interior, strip it out, clean, and replace broken pilar pieces. Also need to replace seat sliders, they're rusty. Gonna be spending lots of time in there, needs it. Carpet is either gonna be replaced or cleaned, and sunroof leaks need to be fixed. Rears seats, gone (no seatbelts back there anyways, and nobody ever sits back there lol. Plan on building some sort of floor for the trunk and floor where the rear seats are, to make it look nice, as well as building a battery box, and just straightening things up.
4.body panels, planning on removing side skirts and wing to clean underneath. As well as trying to fix whatever rust there is, not too big of a deal.
5.engine bay, needs attention...haha. Wouldn't bug most, but it's bugging me now. Gonna end up pulling the motor regardless, so mucho cleaning will be taking place. Maybe some paint, who knows haha. Just know, that it's dirty.

Mods will pretty much be the same. Plan on a new-er intercooler, since I don't like how it's set up now. Like I said, new cams, maybe some kelford 264's...but not worried about it now. Other than that, just maintenence, making sure stuff is how it's supposed to be. If a rebuild is needed, then 2g pistons, 1g rods will be going in there...all just brainstorming. Need to get to saving!!
