Thread: Things I'm going to do to my car someday list

    Things I'm going to do to my car someday list

    Most of our cars are works in progress, and that means that there are always ideas for the future. What is on your "Things I'm going to do to my car someday" list? Outrageous or just a simple bolt in, what are you going to do:

    When the engine's out
    When I repaint the car
    Next winter when the car's waiting for spring (California guys, pity us please don't remind us how nice it is to drive your car 12 months a year)
    As soon as I find that unobtainium part

    Pull the original engine . . . then stick it in a crate . . .

    . . . replace it w/ something like a short-stroke 2.5 --- still w/ MFI


    Oh --- and repair a nasty alu lid that's hanging-out on the wall . . . then fit the car's rear wiper per Kardex . . . mount the whole contraption back on the car

    .........
