Another must do project is the addition of a master fuse on the car, something the early cars did not come with from the factory. A battery cut-off switch is also another great addition on the car. Lap belts and shoulder harnesses are most likely out dated, but unless they look frayed or slick they probably pose little concern. An under car and hood inspection of nuts and bolts, including torquing the rear suspension bolts is time well spent. Don't fix it till it's broken is a good rule of thumb.Drive the car before changing things. But wait, do you have winter up there in Canada? I forgot about that. Waxing in a heated garage might be the closest you get to putting miles on it at the moment. ENJOY and welcome to the madness!
