Re upholster the seats. Yes stock blue

New Top, there is that rip in the seam. New top will be nice

Repaint the Trunk, The hood and the strip just above the windshield. (it's about 1.5" by 40" All those areas are peeling.....I have that shitty white paint issue.

New Windshield. The old one is sandblasted and cracked.

Ok seriously now, winter projects- cat-back, redo my vac lines, fix my fender, fix my headlights, maybe get a new drivers seat, and all while saving money for my rebuild/paint job/possibly buying a bike as DD transportation.

Sure Assuming my wife of 20 years doesn't find out, and if they don't mind a 44 year old that acts like 18 Maybe that should be my project for the winter: learning to be a good sugar daddy

I can hear the boss at the new job....You know Wacky, posting on the internet during regular business hours....blah blah blah. Yea, that would last.....Do yourself a favor, when you try out that "new" job.....just tell your old job you are taking yoru two week vacation. It will lonly take about a week for you to realize you need your old job back......at least you'll get one week of vacation......

Think I might remove my AC and convert to manual steering. I'm too heavy on the left front corner and this will help remove some weight there. Also removal of the AC condenser will help my cooling at the track... I hope.
