2.1 liter is a nice upgrade.  So are e-code Cibie lights.  If you have
an 84 or older a newer handbrake is better.  The 86 and newer front
brakes are supposed to better than earlier iterations, but you'll need
uprights, hubs, rotors, calipers.  Some say the cast iron front
control arms make it ride like a Cadillac and sting like a
Beemer.(Something about storing kinetic energy, as one fellow tried to
explain ;-) and I still laugh at that).  Tach is nice.
