Initial plans were:
Borrow a mate's selector guide, and adjust the gear selection.
Ditto try to adjust the clutch cable, to get a better biting point.
Replace stereo with replacement period model.
Replace speakers with 6x4s hidden behind original covers.
Replace the pooberg with a Weber.
Replacement heater blower.
4-1 exhaust manifold.
2" exhaust.
Better air filter.
Gti cam.

Polybush all round.
Top and bottom strut braces front and back.
Probably some period alloys like Avus Snowflakes shod in decent rubber.
Port and polish the head.
