Oh golly!  I'm well down that slippery slope when I rebuilt the car 
almost 20 years ago.  Things like stainless steel brake lines, finned 
magnesium diff cover, front sway bar, competition springs, nitrided 
crank, cam, 87mm pistons, ARP bolts, modified oil pump, oil cooler, 
45DCOE's, four tube header, TR4A cylinder head that is shaved and 
polished and has oversize valves, modified valve train. Motoleta 
steering wheel, TR4 overdrive gearbox. TR2 exhaust system behind the 
four tube header, finned aluminum deep oil pan, finned aluminum valve 
cover with genuine Mooneyes breather, narrow fan belt conversion, 
electric fan, alternator, geared starter and since mid august a pair of 
steel trumpet Marchelle air horns from the '60's for that V12 Ferrari 
horn sound.

Coming soon, a Salisbury limited slip diff and LED lighting.

I had a added a rebuilt steering box with new gears back in the late 
1980's and have never liked the steering.  Someone doing a restoration 
might find my steering  box very desirable considering how new the worm 
and peg are.

Except for the steering wheel and PL700 headlamps she looks totally 
stock as long as I don't pop the bonnet or push the start button.

I guess you might call the slippery slope a slalom.
