What are your car plans for 2010

[Turpro]

The new year is ipon us and after the holiday spending stops and real life comes back into full swing most of us will get back to wrenchin. So let's here what you want to get done in 2010. I'll bump this thread in Dec. 2010 to see who has accomplished what they wanted,not accomplished shizz or got most done.

[Turpro]

My list:

1. Do 1 of the following
A:swap in a fresh BP
B:swap in a KLDE

2. Bodywork and possibly paint
3. Boost
4. New springs
5. Mx3 steering rack swap
6. Swap in a sunroof roof
7. Fix suspension
8. New exaust
9. Get trunk pieces to make it neat
10. secret cluster swap
11. SS brake lines
12. Familia trunk lid garnish
13. Battery relocation
14. Interior work
A:seats wrapped in leather(gtx or mx3 haven't desided yet)
B: headliner rewrap
C: pillers painted black

For 2010 I want to:

1. rebuild F2 for my MX-6, install
2. finish body work on MX-6
3. finish interior swap in MX-6
4. paint MX-6
5. Find a decent set of 16" rims for MX-6
6. BP swap on Protege
7. Rear disc swap on Protege
8. Mount EGT front and rear bumpers on Protege
9. Paint any non-green parts on Protege green
10A. B8 swap in a Festiva
10B. Convert a 91-95 Escort wagon to a Protege wagon
10C. Fix up a 94 Ranger

For the 10A, B, C, they all depend on what's cheapest to do. I have tracked down a cheap Festiva, but if my future father-in-law buys another truck soon he's giving me his 94 Ranger that I'd need to do a bit of work to... We'll see what the future holds.
