Spinoff thread - what are you planning on doing to your mustang over winter?

[The Fox Master]

I know some of your crazys actually drive your mustangs in winter, but I think most of us part em before the snow flies. I take mine of the road at the end of september and immediatly start thinking about next season.

So whatcha got planned to save for/buy/install over winter?

The GT needs it's interior spiced up a bit, asuming no major expenditures happen over the winter will be getting the following:

Arizen Custom Seats



Florida 5.0 Custom Gauge&Cluster



A new set of black floor mats.

I think next year i'll give a small shot of nitrous a try and perhaps look at some stickier tires.

How bout you guys?

[shakes]

biggest things this winter -> 5lug/tranny maybe/A/C/MAF conversion.

Did I miss anything?

Rebuild an '88 block, TFS heads, AFM B-31 Cam, Kenne Bell 2.2L Blowzilla/Flowzilla, Fox TB conversion, SPEC Stage 3 clutch, GT 40 lower intake, RR's, you get the idea.

If I don't break a block I still have the ZEX wet kit to spray to chill the air charge...

[sheldo]

For the fuel the best I can suggest is to full it up and then place the needle on "F"

Best of Luck

depends what i have for a job in winter.
im going to hawaii so thats gonna drain some funds,
but im thinking ill try to save up for a ~75mm MAF conversion,
TB, injectors, and a TFS intake.

first things forst i gotta ger her on the road.

[shakes]

yes, please get her road worthy first.

[boss429]

not too long man
i got me fenders, a stering column,
passenger window, headlight switch,
two seats that match my interior,
and 4 ****ty 4-banger wheels,
with really bald tired, and i got it all for $200

[shakes]

nice... so all you need is that trunk lid correct?

[boss429]

you bet your sweet ass!
and then i need to save up for a paint job

[V8Notch]

I'm gonna do a five lug w/ disks conversion this winter. I've got a complete rear axle and front sprindles from a '94. I'm gonna upgrade to the cobra calipers/rotors front and rear. This will incude a new set of rims/tires. Not sure what yet. Stockers or aftermarket???

Shocks and springs.

I also wanted to clean the bottom of the car of any rust or junk and paint the underside with some por-15 or good paint.

Repaint wipers and door trim. They are looking petty faded.

Clean up the engine bay.

Relocate Battery to Trunk.

Clean the interior real good.

Find a good set of floor mats that don't interfier with the gas pedal. Any recommendations...I've got custom fitted Husky Liners in the Sonoma but I don't know if that is a little much for the Mustang.

That about sums it up...

[85gt]

-rebuild the motor ....new heads, cam, and intake
-87+ brakes
-new tires
-repaint under the hood while motor is out

just hope i have the money to do it

You want to sell some front end stuff?
I want to upgrade my brakes to the 87+ gt setup. 87+ have 11" while I have 10" on my 85

[freakshow12]

wel, since I will not see my new car for a long time yet I am planning on doing bullitt side scoops and 03/04 cobra rocker panels on the mach. 410's are here and ready to go in as well as a retro hurst T handle shifter setup. I will likely slap a procharger on it too. while thats going on I am pulling the motor from my cobra and doing a fully forged rebuild on it so its good to go for spring. me and my dad are also likely going to get the 65 fastback ready to show this coming summer as well. I am gonna be busy I just dont know how I am going to get it all done with snowmobiling and all LOL
