Re: Winter refresh to-do list 2013
 

New headlight ordered.
-6k bulbs
-Brighter city bulbs
Brighter map lights ordered.

Look for a decent steering wheel

So I'm getting some stuff done

Re: Winter refresh to-do list 2013
 

The turd:
Install radio.
Replace hood, hatch, and both fenders.
Clean up and install little odds and ends in the interior.
New set of wheels.
New suspension, something that doesn't beat me to death.
Fix minor issues under the hood.
Maybe get it repainted before spring but I doubt it.

The Banana Mobile:
Install suspension.
Maybe get exhaust.

Re: Winter refresh to-do list 2013
 

Any progress?

Got some wheels in a trade probably going to sell them, ordering the ground control springs next week or so.

Re: Winter refresh to-do list 2013
 

installed new headlights and corners today. threw some new drag radials on my stock wheels and installed the new daily wheels and tires last week as well. i will have the interior re upholstered, new carpet, headliner and weatherstripping installed by the end of this month.

'99 Ford Lightning

Re: Winter refresh to-do list 2013
 

I'd LIKE to get:

Factory wheels refinished
New exhaust (literally just one click away from purchasing, but so indecisive)
Coilovers


Pretty sure only 1 of those three things will happen in the next 6 months haha

Re: Winter refresh to-do list 2013
 

DO IT!

Does anyone have expireance with suede steering wheels? I've always been on the fence about them, but I would think they would just ware out quickly. I want to get this personal wheel, but don't want to shell out the cash if it'll look like poop in a few months

Re: Winter refresh to-do list 2013
 

IMHO they only make sense if you're going to drive around with nomex gloves and have a steering rack that only goes ~270 degrees.

And yeah if you don't wear gloves the alcantara wheels get messed up quickly.

Re: Winter refresh to-do list 2013
 

Sold contour, so essentially pushed that off the cliff so check that.

-changed serpentine belt, check (easiest belt change evar omg)
-dealership screwed up my order, so still waiting on rear pads I ordered 3 weeks ago, rotors are in
-diff and trans fluid will be changed this weekend if it's not balls cold
-bought wheels
-ordered lip 2 days ago

I'd say not too bad.

Re: Winter refresh to-do list 2013
 

Got this installed last night. Band clamps are good for adjustments but fucccckkkk it was difficult getting the driver's tip to stay in place.

Got them for a bargain
