now that we are getting close to that time of year when most do a big project or something that they have been putting off on their vette, just figured i'd pose the question and see what anyone is doing.
 
for the most part this winter, i hope to work mainly on the 75. have gotten side tracked with the 90 getting hit last year and a lot of running problems the year before. i need to get the dash on the 75 out and do some rewiring as i have a few electrical problems plus i have to replace all the vacuum hoses for the heat,etc. while it is down i hope to install a chrome power brake booster.
 
will still tinker with the 90 as there is always something that needs to get done.

Projects? are you kiddin me? There are ALWAYS project to be done!
Having as many vehicles as I have makes prioritizing a major ordeal...as well as accumulating the funds to complete any of them.
I did the brakes on Mama's Caderack today, but I needed to do the rear master cylinder on the bike. BOTH of my Corvettes need new A/C compressors, and they have needed them for several years.
The '85 also needs to have a dang good cleaning, inside and out, since it has basically just been sitting under a cover for at least 3 years.
I also need to rip the heads off of my 'Burban...
And finish insulating the attic
And update my toy collection inventory
And...

and..
Here I sit messin wid the computer!

Vette(s): 1989 Red Convertible - 160,000 fun-filled miles -

my list got out of control, but the first 3 or 4 items are a must

  1. read this forum faithfully  (helps keep the motivation flowing)
  2. brake pads, rotors and calipers
  3. chase down slight engine miss that showed up a few weeks ago
  4. 4 new shocks
  5. change oil/filter in tranny
  6. mufflers
  7. new carpet
  8. ditch the Bose stereo system and put in ????

it's a long winter and my garage is heated, so why not.....

Just got started on a Renegade intake install.  Also putting in a new cam.  While I'm at it maybe rings and bearings. Maybe true duals. By next spring hope to have slotted rotors.

Vette(s): 1991 Coupe L98 Turquoise with spoiler and Black interior

My present project is to Drive my 91 to Florida from Northern Michigan this Friday and Saturday and enjoy it for the winter for a change. My check engine light still appears (Code 32, EGR) but like you said Eddie just ignore it, and I have and driven it about 800 miles this summer and it still runs great.  However to tell the truth I am not ignoring the light totally. I got a Information Center Cover Plate (aftermarket do-dad) that hold a black piece of paper over the Check Engine Light area and and Presto its gone. And every now and then I get out the Diagnostic Reader just to monitor it. So for the first time in the winter my project is to enjoy my C4.
