When I briefly had a Super Sport, it came to me with no front and a ruined rear wheel. I used the wheels from my Paramount with some 32mm Paselas. And man, it was a steamroller. Wheels and tires are important! You don't want the ones from the Varsity.
Other than that I'm also in the "don't change it too much or it will lose its character" camp. It's an everyday bike. Just for example that big pie plate on the crankset covers not just the chain but also the FD so you have little risk of your pants getting dirty much less in the sprocket. The crankset is very, very heavy but there's little other fault to find with it. The kickstand is also emblematic. If you can find a rear rack that will attach to the brake bolt and some fenders it will wear them well.
