Default Updates for MN members!

Hey, if your in MN and did some cool **** to your rides this winter, i wanna hear about it. Or if you moved or plan on moving or going to some of the tracks, lets hear about that too. Hell, even if you did some improvements to the house or garage, make it interesting!

Heres mine:
Pulled the motor and did some serious paintwork on it and entire engine bay, it looks killer!
Removed dash and soundproofed, redid all chassis wiring
Converted to a manual rack and pinion setup, shed 35lbs off the front in the process
Put the A/C-heater back in
Made a completely new hotside for the turbo
Fuddle 3200 stall for the 4l80
Looking into a 9" if funds allow later this spring
Also im moving to St. Cloud this summer so ill be in brainerd alot this fall, thinking mid 10s should be a walk in the park. some of this stuff is still in progress, but it should be done by the first week of march, looking forward to it

* I need to insulate and dry wall my garage, but what a major PITA. Ugh.
* Install better lighting

* Just finished installing a Chromoly 5-pt roll bar this past weekend.
* Next weekend I'm going to pull the remaining AC (leaving the heater) and install a AC delete plate (painted to match the car).
* Sooner or later I'm going to install my ABS delete kit.
* Clean up and repaint the engine bay.
* Installed freshened up motor (new shortblock, new cam, reworked heads)
* Buy new street wheels.
* Debating on sending the converter back for a restall.
