For me it's just to drive it any thing more than that is a bonus
.
Not making any plans because as soon as you do something gets in the way of them

For mine...
Probably at least get the rear bumper done, maybe side skirts etc.
Rear strut brace would be nice too, and maybe some new suspension :p

Done 9 out of 10 of those and none are easy!!! I hate spraying but I'm sort of good at it now! 2/3 of my cars been resprayed and it basically has kept my car looking like new! Leather seats the misery!!!
