    I don't have any major plans yet, but I would like to save up for a clean six speed NB and keep it all motor. When I said clean, I mean clean body no need for a paint job.

    I need to paint my trunk hinges as well.
    That looks awesome!

    I'm hoping to get a majority of the maintenance stuff done over the winter. The rest will get done eventually.

    - Get my head rebuilt (leaky exhaust valves)
    - Do a timing belt/water pump job
    - Delete A/C
    - Detail engine bay
    - Install MW header
    - Remove washer fluid bottle (ABS version) and replace with cappuccino bottle
    - Replace stock radiator with Mishimoto and slim fans
    - Sandblast and powder coat various bits
    - Install sound deadening stuff at some point
    - Find some dress up stuff for the engine bay and interior
    - Rebuild/refurb soft frame and install new soft top
    - Send my dash, console/radio surround and gauge hood off to have the redline leather interior installed

    FM Little Big Brake kit maybe.. current pads are good but rotors could use a turn.
    Keep the interior clean, as usual. Paint is awful so no worries there.
    Tires. STR is no place for performance all-seasons. duh.

    My 2017 goal is to stop licking frogs. No, really.
