When I first bought Baby Blue, I mapped out a whole bunch of things that I wanted to do to the car and a rough timetable of when I'd do them. Some of them were scheduled for spring / summer of this year. Of course, once those times came around, it dawned on me that I was having so much fun driving the car that I really didn't want to take it off the road. I only did repairs and maintenance on items that affected the driveability of the car. The fact that it is also the busiest time of year for me in terms of performances also tended to have me shy away from attempting anything major during the spring and summer. So, those items are getting put off until winter. Rather than take one big hit, though, I've started ordering parts for the winter projects now, so the expense gets spread a little bit.
With most of the heavy mechanical stuff knocked out last year with the head gasket replacement, this year I'm starting to go to work on the car's interior. I definitely need new seat covers and foams. I also want to get into the dash and fix a few burnt out bulbs, such as the right turn signal indicator bulb and the brake warning bulb. With the seats out, I can more readily access the reverse switch, too.
The only heavy mechanical fix I have planned is to drop the gas tank and replace if necessary. I'm pretty sure the tank is original. Then there comes the usual maintenance: changing all fluids, tune up, valve adjustments, and go over the car front to back and IRAN (Inspect and Repair as Necessary), wax and polish. I need to replace the return line from the heater core as well.
