BMW: install AC, put some cats back on it, adjust coilovers, do a full paint correction over the winter and drink 1000 beers while doing it. I kind of hope it gets totaled somehow so I can put the motor in another (lighter) chassis. Outback XT: maybe get it tuned? I don’t want to fuck with it since it’s so unmolested ---

I have been doing some hw about various detailing methods. Not sure if single stage is easier or more difficult than clearcoat but they do mention it in these articles - these people get super anal about their methods.

Camaro: finally swap to the 317 heads and the built 4l60e, up the boost from 6psi to 12ish psi. Get the engine back in the car, and maybe even drive it. Corvette: I’m really tempted to do a rear or fender mount turbo, but fighting the urge, it makes a great fuel efficient summer DD right now, and I should probably keep it that way. Definitely give it a good clean and polish though, the swirls are horrendous right now. ---
