thank you all for your replies.

Sorry about the 'ticking time bomb', I must confess to TMR - too much reading as I have garnered that 2001-2005 failure was 8-10% whereas the '98/'99 was close to 1% and I really don't like surprises.

So water pump for sure. Add a low temp thermostat as well?

Tires yes (I'll leave that discussion for another day as I see multiple opinions on specific make/model).

Brakes - check of course, any reason to upgrade?

I've read about deep sump kits for oil - good idea to add as well?

And talking of oil, should I attempt to keep the same as was being run or switch to (Mobil 1 - what)?

Lastly, anything specific on suspension?

Thank you all again.
