Well, it's the new year, and though driving season is a few months away yet, I'm starting to think about what I should be doing for Spring.
The Supra's been sitting for a few months now. I moved it about 6" or so a bit ago, to prevent flat-spotting the tires. The battery got frozen, but seems to be recovered nicely. I don't know how it would take to a load test, but it took a charge reasonably well, took about as long as I thought that it should on a 2A charger. Maybe it's even okay...
I've pulled out a lot of the stereo gear, just 'cause. I'd like to get things ready to put new stuff in before the driving season really hits.
My upper IC pipes look terrible, and I'd like to do something about that, but really... I don't know what that's going to look like.
I really want to put in my Walbro FP. I really need to get an AFPR, too. Also on the list, I should really put in the new struts that I have sitting in storage, and some of the suspension bushings really need to be looked at. (A half million klicks can't be all that good for rubber parts...)
All this needs to be done before I even get a start on the body... Or the chassis needs to be abandonded. Realistically, that's going to be the best choice, but considering that the car was "low mileage" when I got it, I've become somewhat attached to it, so I'm going to be stubborn.
As it sits though, with the car looking like a hood and door stuck onto a snowbank, I don't think that I'll be dropping the tank for a bit...
