Different wheels
Larger tires
Suspension lift with new shocks struts and springs
Changed soft top to hard top (had to make a couple changes to rear wire harness to adapt the older hard top to the newer rear defrost circuit, totally reversible, used a junkyard defroster/tail light harness to make the adaptor)
New radio and speakers because the originals died.

All that stuff was easy peasy compared to the repair body work I had to do. Cutting and replacing a rear quarter panel plus paint work.

Currently waiting on
New steel bumper
New external fog lights

'boots' are plastic things that go around CV joints or steering racks, a gaiter is a fine piece of engineering that sets off the interior design of a car, commonly made from the finest British suede or leather.

I like

To be fair, the S197 suspension is pretty meh from the factory and the MT82 is atrocious at high RPM, so applying these little 'fixes' has been fun.

Made custom instrument cluster with microcontroller and RGB leds-

Removed the stock 4 speed HVAC fan "resistor pack" bullshit, modified the switch and put in a 12v PWM motor controller so the speed is completely variable-

Made my own custom metal short throw shifter (Same height) because the throw in 5th and reverse is so long you hit the passengers knees-

Custom made heim joint adjustable panhard rod-

Koni adjustable red shocks-

Custom fiberglass battery box that fits in a hole I cut out in the false floor in the hatch area-

Newer, better ECU-

water/meth injection on the cheap-

Ignition barrel died and costs way too goddamn much to fix, so I replaced the ignition barrel with a small momentary button with a backlit ring around it.

Ignition system is now 3 latching relays with hidden kill switches.
