The short list would be
1 get the rear hatch to open
2 it is missing the muffler and tailpipe
3 the RPM's seem to hang IE slow to return to Idle may have to do with the missing mufffler / o2 censer getting to much air I will look at the TB clean it up and look for air leaked dont know yet , no check engine light
4 bushwhacker wheel flares
5 change all fluid's
6 rear springs seem to sage a bit
7 tires
the long list
1 rebuild motor stroker crank mild cam high flow valves port work 9.5 or 10:1
2 small lift 3" or less 30" tires maybe if I can calibrate the spedo its a can of worms LOL . then I would have to change the gearing I think it has 3:08 more home work LOL
4 front and rear bumpers winch
5 lockers of some sort true track maybe snow and mud
6 Roof rack
7 larger fuel tank you never have enough
8 paint and body work I have painted a few cars myself maybe a two tone something classy
9 the best radiator that money can buy
10 all new suspension weather it needs it or not
11 duel batters
12 spot lights
13 do away with the air bags if I can
14 do away with the ABS if I can
15 do away with electric window if I can
16 keep my son from driving it if I can
