I start 'auto shop' in school on tues. what should i do 2my car?

Since Im almost positive that i can use the stuff there, lift, air tools, knowledge, i was wondering what should i do. Here is what i have so far

• replace rear wheel cylinders - one is leaking. and put new shoes on
• advance timing to whatever i can get by with using 93octane
• see if i can fix my a/c while im in there. they might have somethin i can use
• i might put my white letters on my tires on the inside instead of out.....maybe

thats all i can think of. any other ideas on stuff i can do, cheap/easy upgrades. this sounds like a pretty good oportunity to do some stuff for free labor and get some experience.

Shave the door handles? I think it looks pretty good. Maybe even smooth the rear and side skirts. Like delete the Mustang GT lettering?

Make your self some subframe connectors and weld them on.
Maybe make your self a strut tower brace.
Make a drive shaft loop.

Install all the usual bolt ons.

Oil changes (thats what I did), and any small easy bolt ons... I wouldnt use a shop in a schoopl (like I had) for anything more!

got subframes already..just not enough room in my sig.

well, im sure you wont be doing anything in autoshop the first few weeks of school. If its anything like mine, then you will have to learn all the *technical* names for tools, safety, how the lifts operate, and some basics in class first.

But some easy autoshop things would be:
Brakes
Oil/fluid changes
thermostat
and just other small things

Who needs more than a stock motor???
