I'll be focusing on two main ideas:
1. Making sure the '86 is reliable and solid, while installing small performance modifications.
2. Preparing it for a paint job in the spring, which would have me ready to go for Carlisle and Cat Jam.

He's good at trickery through photography.

Honestly though, the only issues I know of with the car is the clearcoat peeling that you can never see in his pictures.

I am now revising my winter plan. I need paint/body work and some brake work and a full tune up. After that Mine should be done for the most part. Untill I break something or buy parts I don't need.

Start the body work in the 84 T/c and maybe some engine compartment upgarades to make things look better.

Bingo. The car is a piece of junk. It has more body work in it than Michael Jackson. Rear 1/4 has been replaced, and so much puddy in it that its not funny. Not to mention the clearcoat peel, the twisted front end, and the caved in drivers door. And thats only the exterior. Looks are very decieving.

Other than that I plan on driving my TC this winter.

I did. they aren't installed yet.  those are the  ones just to seal the motor so I didn't have to tape much.  I will post a pic of the motor mocked up and all painted, this weekend for you.

I was triing to sell the bird, but since nobody on here seems to be intrested in it (what a shock:sleep: ) I figure I might as well make it haul ass.:birdsmily:  And keep it around.:grinno:
