Mods and upgrades

Just wanted to get some peoples thoughts on what there favorite mods are and upgrades are. I am working on a few. Like new motor and trans. New wheels and tires with a new rear end while changing from a 4 to 5 lug. I have a cold air intake. Im planning on redoing the inside. Like new gauges buttons etc... So what are your mods and upgrades. If you have any questions about my car feel free to ask, I will be glad to answer them.

My favorite so far has been swapping to a 5 speed trans. I'm going to be doing a complete 5 lug swap over winter and I'm anxious to do it.

Unforentely I hydroplanes my car due to slik tires and bad weather. And messed up my left side rear end.

The good news is it was wrecked in the front end when we got it and we fixed it up so I know we can fix this. I have to buy a new trunk lid and lights though. But I'm going to get the smoked tail lights either led or normal no euro. I plan on lowering and more other mods. I love this car and I can't wait to get it fixed again. So many things I want to do to it just no money. I plan on geting a lot more parts through my work depending on if I like the kind we offer. And skunk you did a awesome job on your resto. Looks amazing.

It wasn't as bad as it looked, I'm just glad the truck I hit wasn't in to much bad shape either ( besides a huge scratch on its side) but thank you though. It's still drivable, I drive everyday. I got some lens repair tape and a kit until I get the tail lights. Once I buy another car (already found one with everything I need for cheap to fix mine) I will have it fixed in no time.
