best improvements made? 200

Lots of good ideas, thanks. ... so far, I have lots of bits, but haven't actually done too much.

I've added the armrest - what a difference it makes.

Have volt and oil pressure 52mm gauges to install, tach to replace the big clock, odometer gear to replace the broken one, temp compensator board jump (have the cluster out to do all the work, running a spare for now).

Sheepskin seat wraps to go over the nearly new looking brown vinyl.

JVC iPod compatible head unit (pulled from my previous daily driver) and upgraded 4-inch speakers.

Bought a set of almost new used tires today, 205/70/14s to replace the 195/70/14s the 245 came with. For $100, the debate of going to 15s ended. As money allows though, I'll probably go to 15s from a 700 series.

E-codes from ebay, with a Daniel Stern wiring harness on the way.

Mechanically, she's a gem. 86 245 with 105K (and a bit more as the odometer broke, but not much more from the carfax) Replaced the CAT, plugs, wires, cap, rotor. Paid to have the blower motor and AC fixed and that, for now, appears to be all she needs. STP stop leak and cleaning the flame trap appears to have fixed the rear main seal leak and Lucas power steering stop leak has bought me time on the steering rack.
