New year's car resolution's

Mine is to get mine running and looking respectful. Right now it looks like a junkyard escapee. It will probably take all year to do, though

As much as it sucks, my Z is not really in my new years resolution. My resolution is to get this business really going. To get as many products out as possible this year. Hopefully the first half of this year. Ive got everything else I need: New house, wife, kid, dog and a Z. I guess if I have the time, then getting my engine swap done would be nice. Other than that she's running great so I'm not in too much of a hurry. But Definitely want my business going for the new year.

Probably get some body work done and make my car presentable. More power, can't forget that. That's after the many other resoultions I have lined up.

Well one is to get my Z up and running by February. And looking better than he does now. Also I already took care of one resolution. I quit smoking over a week ago. And I haven't had a cigarette since. But my other one is to get out of debt, make it to the MSA show. And whatever else comes along. I take it as it comes.

Hmm ...

-Pull out all the worthwile parts off my '81, then take a Sawzall to the shell, get money for the scrap.
-Buy that '98 Eclipse GS-T I'm looking at [I've got a small deposit on it, w00t]. Damn thing runs low 13s.
-Maybe, possibly, hopefully, actually fix something on my Rx7 [that something being the transmission].
-Finish paying off my '82 Zed [$2000 left]. Then paint it flat black, drop it, and fit Bronze GramLights 57 Pros.
-Stop making New Years' Resolutions.

Mine would be to have the interior finished, and the body kit on and paint redone before MSA. Those "Special" T-Tops would be cool too if someone wasn't too busy making VW parts . By the end of the year, I would like to have the turbo swap done too. Maybe do the coil over conversion on the rear. Oh yeah, one last thing... Stop spending so much damn time on zdriver.com

Rod.
