Here's a start...
Clean/ repaint the engine compartment,
Replace the rubber perimeter seal if burnt (mine)
Replace critical fuel hoses with new
Re-cover the engine wiring harness (did mine with heat shrink )
Clean and repaint the fan shroud (don't use paint remover)
Repaint engine tin and renew fasteners
If you have CIS consider replacing the Phenolic tubes/o-rings in the intake runners (did that on my second engine drop)
Polish the fan
Change studs where the air pump mounted.
Oil return tube fix
Clean, JB weld and Aluminum tape the slots behind and near the oil cooler on the engine case
Clean the transmission and engine.
replace the shifter seal, transmission seals
CV joint boot replacement/repack
NEW CV JOINT BOLTS WITH SCHNORR WASHERS (I can't remember when to check torque after install)
Clean the 8 pin connector
replace the sound pad or leave it off to show off your painted engine compartment
Powdercoat the valve covers and true them up.
Repaint the AC mount
straighten fins on the AC evaporator (or is it condenser)
Or remove the AC
