I agree with the advice to leave the brakes and electrics as original

I see a few details - please excuse if you already know these

The parking lights need the lenses, obviously, but also a cast metal piece that holds down the lens and little converging lenses that fit in a clip ahead of the bulb

The running board trim is missing. A set of short L shaped stainless pieces fit in the grooves on the leading edge. These are the same for 110 and 120. A stainless strip goes down the outside vertical edge. This is the same for 110, 120, and 1903 series 160. These three models share many parts (from the cowl back for the shorter 110)

You have the optional K steering wheel this is a desirable option

Other « usual suspects » for parts are Merritt, Chirco, Patrician. The interior plastic trim is reproduced but not cheap

The factory literature section of this site has a lot of good stuff
