Default winter projects for my c70

well not too much longer and my c70 will get parked for the winter and i know i got a fairly long list of stuff to do to it.
new rotors and pads all around,at least new upper motor mount(haven't looked at the lowers yet), new lower balljoints, or at least new tie rod ends(again haven't looked yet to see which).oil change,and need to pull out both front windows regulators and they are gonna need to be sent off to regulatorsUSA to get rebuilt.also need to patch a worn spot on the top as well.and replace the air pump check valve, and the abs control module too.
also need to replace the front to back motor on the drivers seat and figure out what is wrong with the flip forward mechanism on the pass seat.
all and all im probably looking at spending about 2k this winter getting the car all up to par.
i'll prob put in a high flow air filter and a muffler with a little more growl to it while i'm working on it as well

Wow, RegulatorsUSA is a good find. I know that my regulators have broken pulleys but the cables are fine. I was thinking of making some 2 part pulleys that I can clamp around the post to repair mine. The advantage is that I wouldn't have to remove the glass from the regulator. Have you installed regulators before? How are you approaching realigning the window after to place it in the regulator and install the regulator?

yeah they were a lucky find when i was searching for parts to fix the windows.i've pulled out my drivers side regulator assembly about a month ago in an attempt to make custom cables for it(which failed miserably btw) bolting the window back up is actually the easy part as the bolts are enlarged right where the holes in the window are for a perfect lineup. the bigger pita is adjusting the 2 bolts in the bottom of the door to have the angle just right( though im sure its much easier when you don't have screwdrivers wedged in there to hold the window up lol)
