First mod is...

Let all my relatives test drive it before I start modding it! Nobody has ever asked to drive my Firefly, but this car has caught a lot of eyeballs.

I think it needs an e-test before I can plate it. I'm aiming for having it on the road for the start of next week. (I require the Flea's superior cargo-carrying capacity on Friday. )

I've got a "short list" of about 20 mods I want to do, just off the top of my head. But since the summer is quickly running out, and I don't have a lot of time to spend on the car, I'm going to start with mods that have a good minimum-time/effort-to-maximum-impact ratios.

I'll start a new thread for mods.
