Question New ita/it7 noob owner

Hello folks. I just recently purchase an old and rather tired ITA/IT7 race car. Base is 1980 SA22C with a 12A engine. The wiring is rather antiquated and looking decidedly slap dash as in "panic driven last minute get the f********** wiring done in time for the race in the morning". Glass fuses are quaint but I suspect not entirely confidence inspiring. I would like to re-wire the entire car as I will also be driving the car to the track and back so I'm required to get all of the lights functional again. (No budget for a tow vehicle and trailer). I've started a master list and a rough schematic (I used to design wiring harnesses in a previous life). Is there anything unique to the car that I need to be aware of? Any enlightenment would be appreciated. The magical and mysterious Lucas "smoke" and the archaic attempts to contain it makes for amusing reading but would not be welcome in my case.
