  1. Whats the one thing you need to do to your ride this winter? Mine is to salvage the gas tank in my wagon, the fuel cell from my jeep aint gonna cut it this year. Really wish grandpa would have drained that thing back in 67 when he parked it.

    Fuel Pump, Starter, Nerf Bar, Tail Lights, ****** Linkage, New Cheater slicks.....oh wait you said one? ****, if I have to pick one either I have to start my '26 with screw drivers or it doesn't get the proper about of fuel to the carb which causes it to stall out. Either way I am not going very far.

    extra cash? ha

    I owe so many people money I am going to have to run fast to stay one step ahead!

    seriously though - I will be happy just to get my car started......

    rolling down the road - that will be a miracle if it happens in 09
     
  12. well as long as everybody has more than one, I think Im also gonna change the rear axle to mpg friendly 3.27s, install the much lighter aluminum intake on the FE and I would really like to make the hood black instead of the sweet rust and green it is now.​
