Default F233 Interceptor restoration / refurbish

Hi!

So I bought a Formula F233 Inceptor with at 496 HO with a TRS drive in it and this winter I plan to do some restoration on it. Thinking this thread should be for document the progress and to share ideas and to get inspiration from others.
Hopefully you will enjoy it. And sorry for my English it´s not my first language.

Here some "before" pictures:

The first upgrade was to fix the cooling for the trans, it now has a separate circulation pump and thru hull intake. (and service of engine and so)
The next upgrade was the SmartCraft system with a MercMonitor replacing the old pressure log guage. Going to do some more with the gauges and dash, but have a hard time to find anything here in Sweden except Mercury.
Next step will be a bigger MDF and full NMEA2000 network, (lot´s of stones here in the Stockholm archipelago)

Beautiful Formula. It's very uncommon to find a '78 in that condition. We have another Stockholm member with a 242ls.
