Oh, and yeah, Nick. I've got four projects planned out at the moment and working on planning a fifth.

First up is an LTCC coil pack conversion. Hopefully I can get it finished this winter. I was planning on using that money to do a cam swap, but I did some thinking about it and I think that eliminating the weak points in the system should come before any more major power improvements.

Second up I'd like to finish the repaint. I've been doing the prep and body work myself (that's why I haven't posted the pics of the wheels yet, because she's got nasty primer spots on her from where I used the bondo to fix the back bumpers and whatnot) and hopefully I can get the repaint finished before the fest as well.

Also on the list is that cam swap I was talking about. GMPP LT4 hot cam kit. Comes with the cam, new valve springs, new lifters, and new rocker arms. Basically add in hardened push rods and valve stem seals and I've got a complete top end rebuild.

Fourth is a new interior. Going to replace all the dash lighting with blue LEDs, as well as get some blue CCFL tubes to do footwell lighting. At the same time, I'm going to get the interior recovered in dark charcoal leather with gray cloth inserts and blue stitching (notice a theme here?).

Lastly, in a couple years I'm going to do a complete engine rebuild. This is the one I'm still planning out, because I can't decide if I want to do a nice 355 rebuild or go all out with a 383 stroker. The problem is cost. If I do a stroker, the rear end is going to have to get replaced as well. Its just too much torque for a 10 bolt. Plus, anything resembling fuel economy will go out the window, and this is my daily driver now.

I'd do it all now (or at least, the first four) if I had a few grand to drop but I'm skint broke at the moment.

I like it better "Some people are like slinky's, not good for much, but they bring a smile to your face when puched down the stairs"
