Loose ends

Got a chance to drive the car around a little and get more of a feel for it. Put the various trim pieces back on and put in a passenger seat -- just the original, since my budget is quite blown at this point.

In order of likelyhood, here are my plans for the car:

• RS door panels.. The current doorhandle has little life left and if that goes, i'd have to use the outside handle to get out.
  
• New Steering wheel. The pizza sized wheel it ugly and more importantly the horn switch is toast and I don't like navigating the sea of SUVs on the highway without at least some way to let them know my tiny car is about to be crushed by their unsignalled lane change
  
• New Torsion bars. The handling is rather sad.
  

Also need to investigate the gasoline smell i get under hard acceleration. My suspicions is that the breather tube is getting gasoline sloshed into it from the g-forces and since my ventilation is currently open to the front trunk, the fumes are funneling into the cabin. So i keep the window open if i plan to push hard.
