I have always found the coupe to be very practical & from time to time think about using it full time. If you were to use your coupe for a daily driver in 2016 (except for snow & ice,) what improvements would you make? I know I would definitely want a 5-speed plus a little more power & some sort of heavy duty undercoating/rustproofing that would get into all the nooks & crannies. I suppose it's not possible to add airbags.
it is always a surprise to find the definitely need for more power as a starting point, i will find absolutely scary to get more horse power inside my hood, it might be a reason, but i can not find it, nevermind
airbags ? you'd better weld a strong cage to recover part of the rigidity removed by the absence of B pillars, oh, but we will be talking about a competely different car
rustproofing will be good, but do not forget to renew your door and rear panel's sealing foil, together with perfect rubber seals all around, and perfect fitting of doors and windows
put the spell on tip top mechanics, engine, ignition, fuel management, clutch, brakes, suspension, lights, and other electric elements as heater fans, heated rear window,...
if you are going to drive her in the rain resist the temptation of fitting wider tyres
