So what are you planning on doing to the machine? Will it be all cosmetic? When I had mine the best "upgrade" imho was to replace the system 11 flipper coils with the WPC coils. The project eliminates the sometimes huge sparks you get on the flipper switch and gives a stronger feel to the flippers.

Quoted from NJGecko:

I'm planning to go all-out to see what I really can do. Playfield swap, repainting the cabinet, etc.
Haven't heard about swapping coils. Any info on that?

I used Clay's Sys 11 guide back in the day when he had it posted publicly on pinrepair.com. I think they are still unavailable unfortunately. I found this article but can't vouch for it. Its the serial to parallel upgrade section you want to check out. http://pinballrehab.com/1-articles/solid-state-repair/routine-maintenance/190-rebuilding-flippers
