I'd take a Countach, and respectfully change as many things as it would take to make it a good daily driver. Mostly just fitting some sound deadening and re-arranging the ergonomics, as well as getting a clutch assist. Add a camera and screen for rear visibility, and replacing all the italian electrics, in particular I'd like to Megasquirt the engine and then run E85 and higher comp pistons for more power.
If i could get that done then maybe i would fiddle with the suspension geometry for better mechanical grip, as well as fit adjustable (preset) dampers for different driving moods, as well i'd love to fiddle with the steering so that its not so damn heavy, but with all the lovely feedback.

mki strangely had a larger engine bay if i remember correctly (mkii gave up ease of maintenance in a attempt to compensate for the small trunk) so its all a go!
I've always thought the mki would be a excellent looking car if someone could just get the rear buttresses right, maybe a little longer, like they did on the Ferrari 308. Interior design is okay itself, just needs more colors then black/grey, or red and red, or blue aand blue, or you get the idea. Ideally i think keeping the black plastics black, while replacing all the cloths with tan would work well.
