maybe I should just sum it up by saying "just getting started on an all out restification" Paint/bodywork, more enginework (maybe just heads), interior work, suspension work, stereo setup, wheels... guess that's about it, just a few 100 c-notes there :(

Here's mine:-

replace shifter console with a nice new shiny one
replace external door handles
replace internal door handle surrounds

These are just to tidy car up now, most of other stuff has been done now, am starting to just enjoy driving the car and are happy with the car.

in the winter I will be cleaning up the frame, but not removing the body.

Paint & body work
New Guages

I have an ongoing engine buildup project, I need to finish that, swap it in and clean the engine compartment in the process. Also I want to find the source of some annoying rattles and fix them!

Let's see, in no particular order:

Killer Electric light conversion
Hydroboost
New frame for C4 suspension (sell old rolling chassis)
Do something with the motor (maybe even go LS1)
New seats
Stereo upgrade (already drawn up)
Roll bar
New bumper covers
Paint

I think that about covers it, but I am sure I missed something... :cheers:

My "to do" list at the moment is to fix my non-working power antenna. I was sick of seeing it stuck in the up position. This will be weekend #2 attempting to get it to work...I hate wiring!!! :mad
