first thing i fixed was the sequential signals...the inside light would stay on and only the outer 2 would flash...so i replaced the original mechanical sequncer with this electronic one from cougars unlimited...they now flash like they should

Looks good man... even just pulling a few things off and repainting would make a big difference until you can do everything.
