Winter projects?
Hey just wanted to see if anyone had any big plans for their car for next summer I'll start.
Hoping for a complete interior from a salvage yard, bodywork and new paint, HID headlights(or something to help my stock ones out), carbon fiber fenders and hood(could do without), DOHC V-8 teksid motor with a roots blower or get my current turbo a friend and make it a twin, 6-speed tranny, 4 wheel disc brakes and new rims.....if not dreaming is ok I hope

Full restoration on the MG-B, doing all the body work/interior stuff, have to find/fit a ford 8 inch rear, and hoping to drop in an all aluminum 5.0(bored 215) into it w/ a rover t5.... Biggest problem atm seems to be fitting two mg-b's in the same garage =/

Paying off my fines.
To my white hatch. Fixing the AC, painting the bay, and doing my rear disc conversion. Also, getting a transmission, clutch and finally getting my car tuned on 10 pounds.
To my red hatch. Build the motor for it. Get the bay painted. Put the trans from the white car in the red car.

Re: Winter projects?
Buying a house 
But I'll still by rims/tires, adjustable U/LCAs and depending on what I choose (S/C or T/C) exhaust work.
Summer after that, KB Supercharger or Turbo (Deciding between Hellion and Powerhouse).

I think I'm gonna build my dirt bike to be faster than a lot of cars. As for the truck, maybe a little bit lower and darker tint. And get my exhaust rattle fixed for sure.
