[alfa] Improving a GT Junior[Pics]



My mechanic has suggested these improvements to my 1970 GT Junior with a 1750cc engine and my desire to go the GTA route:
 
Suspension from a 2 liter Alfa: Bigger brake calipers. Also some poly bushings.
Upgrade to drilled/slotted rotors.
After the digest discussion about electric fans, I'll get rid of the mechanical one and go electric.
Currently have a generator and will go with a 2 liter style alternator.
Maybe add an oil cooler(yes I hope to do some track time).
Considering doing the GTA aluminum door skins and trunk lid. Either rivet them or go with high tech epoxy to attach the door skins.
Move the battery to the trunk.
Maybe plexiglas windows.
I think I found some magnesium Campagnolo rims!
 
Anything else? Not sure about a rollcage.

Tale of two engine bays. Can you tell which is mine?
