What projects are you working on during the "off season"? (Page 1/7)

Hi all,

Being from Michigan, my GT sits in the garage from Oct/Nov until March/April each year...eagerly awaiting spring. I use this time to dig into projects that I put off all summer so I could just enjoy driving her when the weather is nice.

Last winter:
• Replaced interior incandescents with LEDs, both dash and interior lights (HUGE difference),
• Deck lid vent, spoiler, and Aussie side scoops installed.
• Center console covers from Russ installed
• New Pioneer sound system
• Toms black Lexan dash trim
• Fixed the damn temp gauge needle that fell off (again)
• New Nose badge (mine)

This winter’s projects
• Modifying dash for double din stereo
• New headliner (DAMN what a difference)
• Adding USB charging ports
• Remote entry
• LED Headlights

What is everyone else working on while waiting for the snow to melt?

Replaced a sticky "select" cable.
Repaired left side headlight mechanism. (Not enough "lift".)
Need to rebuild right headlight motor. (Bushings are shot.)

Need to install 60mm projector buckets on the "Ghost".

Not a lot, IOW.

Any season is a good season to work on the Fiero.

I think I prefer working on the car to driving it.

had plans to do the grand am brake upgrade, replace rs gt window, and prep for a new paint job. Momma said no, so now it sits under its own car cover, which has a 1 inch layer of sawdust on top of that. She said I had to finish the house jobs before I could "play".

While I do love working on it - I enjoy driving it MUCH more.

Yea my Fiero sits too while I remodel the whole house I bought a year ago. New kitchen and two new bathrooms all down to the studs remodel and still not done. But I did sneak a sequential turn signal kit from Black Top Racing under the Christmas tree for myself. Now just waiting for some nice weather.

What is this off season you speak of? I drive mine in the snow. I have been working on recovering the interior. Installed remote door locks. Added strut to the decklid.
Fixed the fuel gauge. Had to drop the tank twice because the seal was the wrong size.

The 87 GT got new front suspension bushings and ball joints.
Now working on exhaust. Its a V8 swapped car, so the exhaust is interesting.

The fiero is in the foreground but spending most of my time on the yellow GT6 in back.
