[Triton540i]

:dance: I'm in the process of that "To Do" list for things I need to do to my car for this year. Actually it seems like a wish list, but some of those things are things I need to do. Anybody have those kind of things they need to do to their car? I have a little sample if you are interested...

-Fix Power Steering leak (Probably Hose)

Then...
-Get Sachs Kit.
-Get Engine and Transmission Performance Chips.

I've got a 66' tbird sitting out front making rust... I'm planning on pulling the 390 that it has in it now, and buying a Fiberfab Avenger or Azten (Ford GT40 replicars) in bad condition from ebay, and making a hotrod rear engine monster.

For the 535i, everything just sort of works right now so we'll see how it ends up in a few months. I may get my wheels reconditioned, since they're pitting, and I need new pads and rotors so I may go for a 750il brake kit up front with 540 calipers in the back. Oh, and I'm also considering a UUC short shift kit and maybe an m5 clutch.

Do you have a Pioneer or Alpine Cd Changer? I have three different Pionner mounting brackets I'd be willing to part with.

I've got a '59 Galaxie that needs a tranny - one of my spring/summer car items is to find a new/used/rebuilt tranny and swap it in. Currently has a 3 speed autobox on a big block 352 - same block as your 390..... Might bolt right up? :trooper: :trooper:

I'm not sure of the transmission's condition- it's a 3 speed auto for sure, but the car hasn't been started in over 10 years. Everything under the body is in surprisingly good condition though, and I suspect the tranny would be fine after a rebuild. I started to pull the engine last summer, but lost interest, and I never encountered any real rust under the hood.

If you want, give me a holler and come look at it- you can just haul it off for free, since I have no use for it.

I will keep this in mind. Probably won't be digging into that project until this place thaaws out, but I'd bet you're in a similar position....

Thanks!

yep, seeing as it'll be under 12" of snow come tomorrow afternoon, if the weather reports are correct

[Mr Project]

Well, my list is something like:

Drive axles on '95 VW
3 Electrical issues on '95 VW
Fuel pump on E34
Reset SI lights on E34
Trunk lock actuator for E34
Keyless entry for E34

Then the 'project cars'
Get '65 Corvair convertible running well enough to drive to storage
Get '66 Corvair 4-door out of storage and finish body work
Paint '66 4-door!!

If I make it this far this summer, I'll be quite happy. My wife won't be, but I will be.
