Default Whats left?

Whats everyone have left to do to their cars before they're ready for summer?

Mine needs the headers, brakes, and fuel system finished up. All that could be done in a day, just gotta get it to a place to work on it.

1/2 a restoration on the caddy.
the taurus needs a wash, brakes, and my front speakers installed, strut tower bars installed, and suspension all around, exhaust fixed, and some lights.
but all money is being devoted to the blue whale for now.

Wow where to start:

-Fuel system (-8 line)
-Rewire entire car (I have the kits)
-Get frame rail fixed & floorpan fixed
-Get rear gear,5-lug axles and install the spool I have
-Install the blk interior I have
-Buy 5-lug rims (Welds)
-Get headers,intake carb and heads and build/finish the motor!

Oh yeah I almost forgot the most important step-win the F*&%in' Lottery!!
