Enduring the winter off season is never easy for anyone as crazy about driving his Corvette as I am. This year is particularly hard because of the problems with getting my garage done last year. That means that the Dragon is sleeping in a temporary garage in the cold. Not my idea of ideal.

Despite this I have a list of tasks that I am determined to try and get done for 2012. Some of these have been hanging over me for a while. At least having the car on site it means that I can get some jobs done as soon as the weather breaks in Spring and it get’s warm enough to work on.

The upgrades are:

• C5 Brake upgrade
• Header installation
• Catback Installation
• Top end porting and polishing

All of these jobs will be done by me with the exception of the porting and polishing. That I will have to send out as I don’t have the tools or experience for that kind of work. Another job that will have to be sent out is ceramic coating for the headers – again a specialized job that I can’t do.

As I work through these I’ll write them up and take photos to show progress.
