I'd definitely say that E-codes are the big one... use relays in the circuit (see Dan Stern's website).

What's next?: Handling. Decent sway bars, tires, shocks/struts help big time. No need to go all race-car, but you can nudge the handling up as much as you want. IPD bars are great but pricey... or you can get bars from an older turbo or GT sedan or coupe.

Other fun stuff:

-A not-too-fancy stereo with aux input or MP3/WMA CD capability. Audio cassette is a dead medium.
-Waterproof 25 amp fuse holder (and clean those ancient contacts/grounds!)
-Temp gauge compensation bypass
-couple accessory gauges (voltmeter can be useful)
-Chassis braces
-for mid-1980's 240's: engine wiring harness!
-lots of folks like to plug the vacuum connection to the ignition control.

Have fun,
-Ryan
