Gutted the interior, removed all the side glass, new belts, hoses, fluids, timing belt, etc., etc. We did the cage later, swapped in a shorter rear diff, and made it relatively safe. Lots of fun, lots of hard work, great experience. The best part - we actually won a race in that car by about 1/2 lap at CMP. If the race was 2 laps longer, the 2nd place car would have passed us.
You started (and finshed) a much better car - loved the pictures when it was completed but not all stickered-up yet. Menacing and purposeful.
