Where to start Options

[Mike's2nd914]

I am hoping to get some tips on where to start with my '74 2.0. As I have mentioned in a previous post, my wife bought it as a surprise so I had not planned on having this project and am kinda jumping into it. The car is in pretty good shape. The fuel injection has been removed (dammit) and it has a POS 2 brl. The compression is good but it is leaking oil on the passenger side even though the valve cover gaskets are new.

The body has some surface rust but nothing major. The bumpers are black and have a fine layer of rust on the surface. I have removed the luggage rack so the rear deck lid has 4 holes in it. Most of the rubber needs to be replaced (top, squeegees, bumper covers, etc.) The interior is in amazingly good condition. Nothing major to be done there. It has dealer installed air that actually works.

Here are a few of the things I am considering, if you can, please share with me your thoughts, both pro and con, for each:

Fiberglass front and rear bumpers
Fiberglass front and rear deck lids
Dual Weber set up
Complete set of new rubber
100 lb springs
New strut cartridges

I have already ordered new brake pads, caliper rebuild kits, and SS brake lines.

If you have suggestions for other mods or improvements, please share them.

The final plan for the car is simply a spirited weekend driver, no racing or daily commuting. (Ok, maybe a little ricer racing) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)
