Project "CMEXLR8"

Just picked up a 1990 GT Topless w/ 125k. Manual T5. She is a SUNDAY driver for fun with the family. Got $3k to throw at her. Here's the run down. Help me spend my money...

Exterior
- Base color paint still shines. Few minor dings. Great shape for 21 years.
- Body kit peeling.
- New Convertible Top (not installed, ordered DVD to view)
- Weatherstripping/trim paint ordered.

Interior
. All instruments/electrical work.
- Windows go up and down, etc...
- Cigarette burn on driver's seat but no other tears.

Drivetrain
- 2.73 lok
- All Stock (4-lug, etc...)

Chassis
- Front strut brace (not installed)
- K-Frame Brace (not installed)
- Body solid (no squicks/signs of abuse)

Suspension
- New shocks/struts w/ 25k on them
- Alignment fine (drives nice for her age)

Engine
- MSD cap/rotor upgrade otherwise stock ignition
- MAC CAI otherwise stock

Exhaust
- Stock manifold
- X Pipe
- Stock catback

So here's what I'm thinking....

Frame Connects
Torque Box Reinforcement
3.73's
Short throw shifter
Cat-back

In that order and have some fun... later do the head/cam/intake/injuector thing.

Thoughts?

In South Texas?

Thanks all. Just looked and the standard sonnectors came with the car. Going to off load those and get some full length from MM.

When I get the 3.73's in (not attempting myself after researching) should I do a lok overhaul while they're in there? Remember only 125K with no signs of abuse.
