    No garage and my project car money comes in every may (profit sharing at work). I do all the work on my DD(s) through the winter and build up the project(s) in the summer.

      I still have my spring/summer build to finish. It may turn into a fall, winter, next year project though the way things are going at work. It will happen though, Ive got too much already invested in parts and labor to turn back now. Good to see people are still living the dream or dreaming to live anyway.

        They worked with protege LX calipers on my aspire so yes they should work with EGT calipers.

                The way things are these days, that's not a bad problem to have.

                  I got my '90 LX that I need to pull the motor on and put new steering/suspension on this winter since my gf gets laid off in the winter. Might possibly do an aspire swap while I'm at it also. Would put a b6t in there but after what I spent to swap a 5.0 in my Ranger my gf would take the whip out.... again:pale:

                    well, no winter build for me. Just alot of small projects to do whenever i have time.

                    -my sister is moving out so ill probably make her a table and chairs to save money.
                    -i need to build a counter to put a big sink into.
                    -my mom wants a coffee table
                    -two of the festivas speakers dont work so ill rewire and put better speakers in.
                    -the festiva's got a vacuum leak but i know where. easy fix.
                    -ill be moving out soon so ill start making making furniture for that.
                    -need new suspension in the festiva, way to bouncy
                    -need to fix the gas leak in my tank. third time. all different places.

                              This winter, I'm going to buy a sheet of polished stainless and laser cut a L/H cowl access plate.
                              Is anyone else interested in some bling, bling?
                              I am also planning to pump the antifreeze out of my block with a HVLP sprayer pump.
                              I intend to complete the waterless coolant install by removing the overflow tank, since it won't be needed anymore.
