The first quick fixes
After getting the car home I set about rectifying some of the immediate concerns.
1) Falling our of 2nd. Thanks to the wealth of info on this site I was able to fix simply by torquing the gearbox output shaft nut. Problem solved
2) Upholstery. Before selling the 74 I swapped the rear seats. I had put new foams and Aardvark covers in the 74. I also scavenged the rear seat belts. For the front seats I put new foam in the bottom with heated seat elemets. I was able to sew in a patch of blue vinyl on the inside of the cover. You can see blue thread stitch lines but its passable and comfy
3) Trim. I had saved some good trim pieces from the red tii that were ok but not concourse. I swapped any belt trim for which I had better pieces without dings.
4) blower fan. Fortunately I just had to buy a new motor. The electrical and switches and relays were all ok.
With all these adjustments the car is feeling better and better
