Didn't really get anything done to my car over the summer. I cleaned up the rust along the drain rails so the roof doesn't rust off over the winter, and installed my GT horn button.
Yesterday I had the car Fluid Film undercoated, I just need to change the oil and I can put the car away for the winter.
Next year will be different though. I picked up my engine block, rods and pistons at the machine shop yesterday. 1.0mm over with flat top pistons. And today my parents are picking up a 5-speed transmission.
So now I've got some stuff to play with over the winter, I need to get the engine together, and check out the transmission. Besides that I need to actually get an S10 rear end ready to swap in, so I don't need to get two driveshafts made. I'm thinking with the overdrive transmission, I can probably get away with a 4.11:1 axle out of an early four cylinder truck.
Hopefully I'll be able to get this all together, I'd like to get a chance to drive it next summer.
