So now it looks like the engine swap was a great success I am thinking that I have a 80,000 mile engine in a 195,000 mile suit! I don’t wish to spend a fortune replacing parts that don’t require replacing but would like to refresh the rest of the driveline components to make the old girl feel a little newer. What is the best route to take and what are the easy wins, bushes, shocks, etc?
As ever any help and advice welcomed,
Jon
Refreshed the engine, now what about the rest?

I'd say drop links front and rear, antirollbar bushes, rear top stabiliser link rods, macpherson struts, springs and strut bearings for starters! 
All straight forward jobs.
