Default What to do to car on Vacation?

So I basically have all of July and August off, Between my internship ending and starting school.


So since I have all this free time coming up.


- Clean Rear Wheel Wells and Recoat them
- Simple Green under side of the car ( Maybe coat it?)
- Vinyl Wrap the roof and mirrors
- Wire Mod Engine bay
- Repaint Front Calipers
- Paint Rear Calipers
- Sand down Rotors and paint
- Figure out a way to get powder coat off of my intake and paint it ( Powder is chipping)
- Install Areoforce Interceptor ( Have already )
- Install Stewart Warner Shift light ( Have already )
- Shampoo Carpeting
- Install Sub Woofer / Amp / Wiring < Make a Amp Rack
- Install Hids ( Have already )
- Remove AIR Equipment
- Paint Fuel Rail Covers ( Have already )
- Remove and reinstall coil overs / cleaned readjusted
- Change Transmission Fluid
- Change Spark Plugs
- SeaFoam the car
- Sand down wheels and paint them ( Rock chips have taken a toll either black or maybe Gunmetal?)
- Demold/Debadge < Added




Other than that I am planning on Building a Carport with a brick base next to my house since my landlord told me I could. Figure Ill be living there for two years and besides the wood for the frame I and get the bricks and sheet metal free.


Anything else to do to the car ? I cant think of any other little things to do to it.

Here is the car in Question

id sell the wheels and get some of those deep dish y2ks in gunmetal. That colors dope, i think more contrast (Than black zr1s) would make it pop

EDIT: also !sidemolding

I didnt even think of the moldings. I have been wanting to debage it as well. Not changing the wheels. I need new tires and I wouldnt get enough money out of them to justify spending the money to change. If anything maybe Ill get a set of rear Deep Dish zr1s

Car looks great and that's quite a list you've got going. I'm not sure of you budget but here's a few suggestion that you might consider:

-New spark plug wires while your changing the plugs
-Headlight/corner light mods (swapping lenses for clear or whatever)
-Short throw shifter, not too expensive but a nice mod
-Put in tweeters while your doing your other audio stuff
-Flush coolant system

just a few ideas, good luck with it

Tinting the windows would make it look great.

Def not spending the money for paint. Ive been wanting to tint it. See how much that would be. I ordered a extra set of corner lamps to Nightshade them. So Ill add that to the list. I sold the areoforce. I just dont know where to logically put it. I have all the audio stuff from old cars. I think I amy have took the tweeters out of my old transam.

Trying to keep a budget under 200 dollars. Most of this stuff is just busy work and I think it will make a huge difference. I want to get a set of Kumho Xs 335/35/17 for the rear though I guess if I get a pair of sumi's I could add a little bit to the pot for deep dish rear wheels.

if your gonna keep it under two and you already have half the stuff then i would do what you had listed and a really good clean up job like was clay bar wax shampoo carpets etc. etc. etc stuff like that like cause you can never go wrong with a good clean up job if needed lol
