Oh, Great...
Now I have to add door pockets to my pocket-less CMC just to hold even more "stuff" that I'm never gonna use!
What really made things "modern" for my car was adding the gas heater. Even down into the 30's, I put the top up and windows in, toss my coat on the passenger seat, start the car, start the heater and by the time I get to the end of my street (about 1/3 mile) I'm getting heat. Set the thermostat to 70F and enjoy the ride.
Rich, my wife recommends getting a good car cover and that you'll ultimately want to get a lift of some sort. To that, I would recommend a 48" scissors jobbie, but we've all covered that, lately.
Add to everything else, a Bentley or Haynes VW Service manual for 1970+, for working on the chassis/running gear. For the rest of the car, I have made my own service manual with lots of material pulled from here over the years, covering things like maintaining the top, the entire electrical system, Removing/Replacing the windshield, setting the rear ride height, servicing the brakes and wheels, Lubrication and suspension maintenance, the BN2 heater and anything else I can think of to add, but it is specific to my CMC and may or may not apply to other cars.
