10 second Turbo T, lots of surface rust. While I'm tearing the interior out, removing all the trim and bumpers etc, what else should I do?
Wishlist:
1. It was originally a chrome car, but I bought W02 trim a few years ago, and I want to go back to chrome. I saw the plastic clips on gbodyparts last night so that's good
2. Seats, the wife says it is uncomfortable, so here I'm thinking a corbeau seat CR1 in black and grey microsuede, $399 each CORBEAU USA LLC - CR1 Seat
3. New carpet, Windshield, Weatherstripping mandatory
4. Body bushings? I have a pack of them from when I rebuilt the front suspension but I never put them in.
5. 6 pt cm roll bar, halo?
6. Upgrade to CSII lower door panels with more speakers ( Have old set of Boston Acoustics 5.25 rally separates in a box somewhere from back in the day). I'll also rewire the stereo since it has lots of noise because I made too many loops in the wire as I forgot all my lessons on induction, electricity and magnetism from my college physics classes when I installed it back in 2000.
7. Baby on the way, so a child seat will be going in the back from time to time, apparently everyone says my Z06 is not suitable for transporting a child
I think its safer than the back seat of a 1987 Buick.
8. Speaking of child transport and safety, I'm thinking c clip eliminators and rear disc brakes to keep any broken axles in place, although I have moser's now. Also, a stronger driveshaft and 1350 ujoints. Jdsgnx (from personal experience) said its possible to rip the lower control arms off a car when launching so those should be upgraded from stock too.

Anything else?
TIA
