Just ordering poly motor & tranny mounts. Headers to come in spring.

Brought the car home Nov 24th. Replaced hood, d.side headlight assy., pass side fender and inner fender, d.side mirror, cleaned up the interior, degreased the engine bay, repainted the entire car, installed a catback, and I still plan to get a wheel/tire package.

Only problem is now I'm broke!

drove mine on nice days only w/temps above 40°. stored in a gated, secured, camera watched, card accessed only parking garage close to my office and apt for free. never saw ice or snow. hardly sees rain. put at most 1100 miles on it since August (bout 4 miles/day)...

Flannels go on it in late October, goes into heated storage(My garage) and comes out in late April. Like a hibernating bear

**nhraformula** · 03-09-2007, 03:55 PM

my car has been garaged since late november.
matter of fact, ill have to buy a new battery to start it.

**joerockhead** · 03-09-2007, 04:12 PM

Park it in the Garage next to the Harley. Take it out when the weather is nice enough.

Three times since late October.

Rented a garage to store it in for the winter. Haven't driven it since late October. Won't be out for at least another month.

**Zapper2003** · 03-09-2007, 05:02 PM

I keep my Springer in the basement, only because the car doesn't fit though!
