What are you doing car-wise over the Winter?

[Steve Wilson]

Happy New Year all! In an effort to know more about others and their projects I thought I'd ask who's doing what to their cars over the Winter?

Given that I came up with this, I suppose I should go first. I'm at an all-time-low motivation wise but if I get the kick up the arse I need then I will be:

fitting a new front diff seal on my back axle
fitting the new inlet manifold and guages I bought in Summit in September
fitting my replacement starter
fitting my new carpet
buying/fitting a replacement carb and fuel pressure guage

There are many other things I could do but I'll struggle to do most of the above without my adding other things which realistically I doubt I'll do this timearound.[/SIZE][/FONT]

...................comfortably numb.
Also motivation at a big all time low.....surfed a good few sites for parts, surfed a few sites for parts, surfed lots of sites for parts, surfing more sites for parts, surfing ebay, surfing ebay, surfing ebay US, surfing ebay US, fall asleep......wake up......must get to bed....

surfing ebay, surfing ebay, surfing ebay AUS, surfing ebay AUS, surfing ebay, surfing ebay, fall asleep......stay up all night......wife slightly amused....

surfing ebay, surfing ebay, surfing ebay, surfing ebay, surfing ebay, surfing ebay, fall asleep....beddy byes in front of computer, wife greatly amused now...

surfing ebay, surfing ebay, surfing ebay, surfing ebay US again, surfing ebay AUS again, surfing ebay, fall asleep....oh no, is that the time...lie on couch and sleep there all night....wife bored of it all now, not happy, lost sense of humour.....

surfing ebay, surfing ebay, surfing ebay, surfing ebay, surfing ebay, days...days...no, weeks go by....found bits on ebay........wide awake now......buying bits off ebay.

Wife rolls eyes now and shakes head......often......thinks it's funny again......Ha ha....although she is behind me 100%, she says!!!???......hopes I pick a 'nice' colour for it.......ho hum...need motivation.

But seriously.........................

Trying to start the 'big push' on getting the zody on the road again. The guy I bought it from stripped it for a freshen up but by the time I bought it lots had gone missing.
Will get there in the end.
It's a lot of work though and feel I will probably need some professional help (lol) to get things really moving, to the point that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and finish the darned thing. Pics are on this site (reason panels don't line up is that I just threw them on for the pics and doors are not hung). A pro-streeter on a full frame, glass panels, hot 351 clevo 4v/C4/9" etc.
Making templates for ally sheetwork and sheeting out is the first job.....I think!!!
