For me it would be adding tunes to the car. I miss having good music in my car. Regret taking out my 6 x 9's and door speakers years ago.

Next bit of extra cash = stereo, amp, speakers....

what about you guys?

As it sits now bodywork & paint. I am getting tired of the dents, peeling paint & rust. Have to wait till after the engine is done.

Take the two large dents out of the drivers side front fender and get the car repainted.

the sample does look nice Frank. should work even with the trim on the car. maybe some trim on the lower quarter can work also. kinda like on a type3...not sure if they had it on type1's...

and for me it would be getting the engine done and test, test, test and test that thing.
