Vinyl the door pillars and boot. Big front brakes, rear disc conversion maybe? And some Vauxhall headlight protectors. Not really alot else you can do an almost perfect car

Yeah you can fit the heated pads in, I don't want to do that, fire risk and all that

I reckon you should put a private plate on it, some orange indicators all round, standard gsi wheels, and put all the vinyls on, so it looks like a brand new, standard GSi.

What engine is going in there if you are getting rid of the 8v? I quite like the fact it has a 1.6 8v. Seems more in keeping

If it was mine I'd strip it, fit a C16XE, wide arch it and track prep it 
But its not, so I suggest 4 pots on the front, a C16XE with a lexmaul or mantzel, louvred bonnet, euro rear cluster, remove side reps and smooth over the holes.

One other thing I would do, but you probably wouldn't agree as you are building a GSi there. But I love it when the ridges are smoothed out of the bumpers. Gives the car a bit of a modern twist...
