Some colour coding of bumpers and a general detail and tidy up (need new bonnet and might try to pick up a 2nd bootlid without spoiler).
Scrap the rattly 3.9L, fit a EL/AU engine, wade cam and chiptorque chip ive had sitting around for months. Have rear springs reset 1-2inches lower.

My plans have changed a fair bit from what I originally had in mind for my XR.
Original Plans 1: Get GTO Rear bar sprayed & fitted. Spray rest of car at the same time. 2: Build up a show worthy boot install 3: Install Carputer, with 15" touch screen, mounted portrait style, replacing the centre of the dash. 4: Full interior retrim 5: Enjoy. Well, that was the plan until the other night when a mate pointed me in the direction of a Twin Turbo kit. Revised Plan 1: Forget all cosmetic improvements, replace bodykit with standard, albeit modified, bars. Also replacing chrome rims with Charcoal F6s. 2: Forget boot install, rarely have the stereo turned on as it is. Same goes for carputer for same reason. 3: Buy intercooler & intake piping locally, import Twin Turbo kit. (US$999 to my front door) 4: Bolt everything up with the assistance of copious amounts of swearing & Bundy. 5: Enjoy boosted V8 goodness. |

ummm, finish the engine bay, put the motor back together, buy the last few little bits for the turbo conversion, hopefully get my ef fairmont ghia leather interior, get my 4 pinion lsd centre and 3.45s fitted re-kit the front bushes with nolethane as every single bush is clapped out or not there, new 20s, boot install then i think it should be ready for the wedding.

Each time I get mine serviced there is a little bit more to do - mainly small oil leaks etc. There is a little bit of rust coming through on the doglegs and some of the paint is looking a bit shabby - but it still comes up nice when polished.
I should really get around to doing the Head Gasket and at the same time finally get the Cam for it. The dash has got to come out before next summer - the evaporator is leaking so I thought i'd suffer this summer and next time I'm on holi's I'd do it then - I'm getting the bits together to do the climate control conversion but I'm not confident enough (yet) to tackle that one (two other jobs related to that will be fresh / recirc flap repair and a check of the clutch pedal pivot point) I'll also get around to lowering her a little bit more and replace the shocks with Bilsteins - steering racks got a slight leak so that might as well get done at the same time.
