What winter projects are you planning for your Beast?
 

I purchased my 1991 ZR-1 in late summer this year. The PO gave me a list of things that needed repair. I repaired everything on his list. This is the rest of my list I have after spending a couple months working on it & driving it.
My list is long, but almost all of it needs to happen before the next driving season.
** Means I have the materials already.

Replace leaking shocks.
R&R leaking radiator, hoses, Thermostat, temp sw & heater hose coupling.
Remove dash, R&R clogged heater core & blower door actuator.
R&R broken front side light assemblies.**
Polish fog light lens's.**
Replace plug wires & coils, fix oil leak in valley & Vacuum leaks.**
Remove IP & repair Tachometer, replace IP lights.**
Install Viper remote door lock system.**
Remove driver's side dash and replace:
Starter switch**
Ignition switch**
Turn signal switch**
Column pivot from Mark H.
HVAC controller, remove & rebuild**
Install starter circuit relay**
Replace Tack resister to correct**
Replace IP light bulbs
R&R drooping headliner.**
Replace both O2 sensors**
Bleed brakes (fluid is black).**
R&R leaking door seals.
Install new window bumpers.**
Install new shift boots (old ones are stiff & crispy, hard to shift).**
R&R oil bypass valve & oil temp sender.**
Try to find oil leaks & fix.
I would love to swap out the aluminum flywheel & revert back to the dual-mass flywheel & clutch assembly. The knocking & trans noise really bugs me.

How's your list? Short or long? About 80% of my list is absolutely necessary IMHO.

Flyman27.
You have a pretty impressive list there !!

Mine is not nearly so long.
#1- Remove radio receiver & have repaired.
#2- Repair inoperative lumbar pump.
#3- Locate & repair small oil leak.
#4- Detail engine compartment.
#5- Detail underside of vehicle including wheel wells.

I'll probably find more as I go, but will be happy to get these done. Working on it is like a good therapy session !!

Boy-Howdy! That'll keep you outta the bars at night! Must have a heated garage? I'd freeze my tushe' off in MY :censored: garage:rolleyes:

Re: What winter projects are you planning for your Beast?
 

Yes Paul, the garage is heated. I installed a small overhead furnace in my garage a few years ago. A "Hot Dawg", I highly recommend them. Pretty inexpensive & heats the garage quickly.
I hope to work on it a little here & a little there, not any marathon sessions. It's work, but I want to enjoy it as much as possible.

Winter projects? That's my driving time. I do my projects in the summer when it's too hot to run around with the target off.

Joe,

I suggest the new radio route. If you were going NCRS then stock. But you have changed the color.. go aftermarket. The Sony XAV-AX100 is a nice unit and the XAV-AX200 adds DVD player and SXM. Both have Car Play and Android Auto capability
