Winter Projects.  Here in south central Texas, usually not cold. But up 
there , sure , don't want to drive in snow :-)

     Anyway, my winter project (started a month ago),  Total brake 
upgrade for my Stag. Already did the  stainless steel lines and rear 
disk upgrade. Currently working on billet front brakes from BCC braking. 
Billet hubs with up-rated spindles and bearings. Also want drilled and 
slotted rotors from Rossini.  Probably going to replace the master 
cylinder.

Let’s see. 85 degrees yesterday in Ocala FL.  My winter projects usually are in summer when it’s too hot to drive the cars.  Hoping to have the 67 4a restoration completed by Christmas.  January is time to start the restoration process of CD2L 67 TR250.  Original engine rebuild, body off frame to painter and redo the frame and suspension.

Tying up loose ends on the TR6, and maybe finally getting the Spitfire
engine back together and in the car.

Looking at installing the new top on the TR6, or having it done.  It looks
easy, but I only get one chance at learning how.

I did get my shop insulated, heated/air conditioned, and floor coated.
Glad I have all the parts I need for actual work already.  I do set a
minimum goal of driving the cars at least once every month, no matter what
the weather.  But around here, it isn't too severe.  No road salt, anyway.

I am retiring or at least semi retiring at the end of the year.  I have
never liked the fit of the trunk lid on my TR250, deep into the restoration
I realized it was kind bent/warped, but had a lot going on then, so
soldiered on ahead with it, I have what I believe is a much better one I
will work with.

I have more insulation to do on one side of the garage, I need to do the
timing belt on my Porsche 924S, which, contrary to popular opinion, is much
more needy in the maintenance department than my sturdy Triumph.
