Your Big Old School Plans..

[Elbow]

What do you want to do with an old school car reasonably. This means in your price range, realistically what would you like to do?

I plan on getting another Porsche 914 and swapping a 12A into it. I loved my 914 but the engine was just shit, I love rotary engines, so why not!? :eek:

[WFOdime]

I plan on rebuilding a L20 just stock, and Attempt to put a KA transmission in there. Then carpet, Maybe a radio, and after all that paint.

[EP3sAreFun]

Taking my current car, ironing out the accel enrichments, putting a nice ball bearing turbo on it and tweaking a few other areas. Bigger Brake calipers, braided lines, some nice R compounds. Then taking it to every road course or autocross event in a 200 mile drive :)

lol and hopefully this will happen in the next few months.

[Glides]

Well, I PLAN on painting the truck, lowering is more, camming the engine and resealing it......
What will most likely happen is that I will leave it the exact way it is, drive it and sell it. :D

[quickdodge®]

Going straight up stock with mine with a few Japanese stock items (fender mirrors, glass black wheel) with a lowered stance. An Atlanta area Honda dealer told earlier this year that he'd like to display it on occasion at the dealership. Later, QD.

bigger turbo and obd1

[FasTech]

Sell mine. :D

Most of you wont approve of this, but my 55 belair is getting airbags, and my 65 thunderbird is getting hydraulics......lol

[WFOdime]

^^ Hell yea

[GsrCrx]

and just to let yall know i aint doing this for the hell of it, i already have a 97 towncar on hydraulics.......lol

I think the Thunderbird on hyrdo's would be neat, although I would approach the Belair alittle differently. haha.

[87 Turbo II]

I just want to finish off all of the handling items. Previous owner started with some great hardware for the engine, so I just decided to finish where he left off rather than start with suspension like the car should have. Now that the engine's pretty much as built as a stock 6 port can be while remaining N/A, I'm going to throw on some Tokiko Illumina 5 way adjustable shocks, Re-speed adjustable coil perches (coil overs for cars with a live rear axle), Re-speed camber caster plates, sway bars, strut bar, and if I ever get the money rack-and-pinion steering conversion.

A 914 with a 12A will be interesting but any reason you're not going 13B? 12A housings got discontinued this year so the rest of the supporting market will wind its way down.

[Catnip]

I'd love to get a cam (with supporting mods), set of webers, header, and paint on the corolla.

[91ma70]

im going to turbo the wagon and convert to 5 speed, already have the turbo and a set of weber 45dcoe.

[solosi]

Most of you wont approve of this, but my 55 belair is getting airbags, and my 65 thunderbird is getting hydraulics......lol
I like the thunderbird idea......I`ve been thinking about that one myself.

[GsrCrx]

well i tried researching online and couldnt find any so i know its gona be a pain if we come up on a problem, but well figure it out, lol

[Total_Blender]

The plans for the '62 Falcon are bored out 200 inline six, Durapspark II electronic ignition, header, 2 1/2" exhaust, 4 on the floor (toploader 3speed with OD), convert to cable clutch, changing the car from 4 lug to 5 lug, 11" disc brakes on the front, 8" rear end, 14 x 7 powder-coated steelies, replace suspension bushings, V8 suspension and steering linkage and control arm geometry changed so Shelby spec, replace floorpans, replace cracked windshield.

After I get the drivetrain and bodywork done, I'll probably do the "Hondatech $50 paint job". And then when I have the funds I'll get posi, an aluminum head, and a 4 barrel for the inline six.

I've already got half of this stuff done, just saving for the rest of the parts to get the suspension together.

Let me know i can get you anything you need for the engine also i can trow a litlle combo so you can have a lot of fun without spend a lot!

[F8d2Blk]

Thinking about going either vg30et or put a 3.3 head on with EFI. Current ride is VG30e Carbureted.

[oldcorolla]

For the 79 carpet, dashpad, bodywork, paint. Its got the 3K-c and K40 4spd in it which I want to keep original like it is now. The 80 wagon is getting stripped of all the parts I can use for the 81 then going off to the scrapyard. The 81 sedan is getting a Ford 2.3 T with T-5 and an 8.8 rear with 4.10s , megasquirt ECU and some other supporting mods(safety first). The engine and trans out of both cars is spoken for. I am planning on picking up a first gen Celica fastback and putting the 3T-c from the 81 in it and giving it to my mom.

[Big Baller]

73 911 rs replica, no stereo, midly custom, very clean low key kind of appearance. Something that I can keep for a long time. I'm never really happy with any of the cars I've built so I won't start this one until I have the cash to do it right. After that maybe a 510.

[RandomGuy]

adding vtec

[LeX]

I'm looking to get a cheap foreclosure house which qualifies me for a $9800 tax credit. And since I make so little i'll get a check for the whole $9800 since I don't really owe any tax. And get myself a Kenmeri skyline.. then still be broke :)
