I have to recondition the window regulators and setup the convertible top frame
A bunch of other general maintenance to have Trixie ready for next summer driving
Next great tool would be a nice 4 post lift:rolleyes:
 
yes, a lift would be nice, but atleast you have room without moving everything.I'm stuck for the winter since I've got vehicle stored just outside the garage and no room inside

I’m happy for what I have for sure
My plan was to get a lift a few years ago but I’m having a hard time justifying one since I am restricted in my physical activities this past year and 1/2
 
I've got a garage, but winter brings other challenges with it. Mainly I don't like clearing snow and ice. This year I've got the NYer in the storage part of the shop where I work. I actually went over and started it on Thursday and left her run for a bit.
 
Hobbies?
Fill us in.

Well let's see if I can remember them all.:rolleyes:

Started off as a kid building model cars AMT/Revell/etc all kinds from cars & motorcycles to big rigs
Then early teens model Cox airplanes to 50+' steel line control model airplanes then into R/C 1/12th scale electric cars in my early twenties' (mostly Peerless/Associated/Bolink/Delta & even a few British brands) - even attained professional levels in the early/mid 1980's but never sponsored to support the traveling portion
Played with 1/10th scale off road Tamiya/Kyosho brands
Left this and got into motorcycles dirt & street.
Trained as a private pilot one summer but lost my nerve on the landings which is kind of important part of flying :rolleyes:
1985/86 did a few years of dirt stock car racing then back to R/C airplanes then back to cars again. Had fun and did well but $$$$ kept me from really making an impact long term.

Also along the way buying and fixing daily driver cars to earn a few bucks.
Got back into riding Goldwing motorcycles in 2004 & did a lot of touring North east to mid US
Fast forwarding to 2013 combing the Goldwing riding(sold last year due to health issues) with buying my current Polara which is still in the garage today:D

Other than that, not much...
Oh and collecting 1/24th and up scale cars/trucks and other automotive memorabilia:p
