Used UV-5R, any mods worth considering?

[MCH170]

I may be getting a used baofeng uv5r for free in the next couple of days, are there any mods worth doing on it? I am decent with a soldering iron and don't mind if it ends up not working in the end.

Thanks.

I believe most of the uv5r radios just require holding a couple buttons and powering up the radio.....

The 5r is not worth getting
