I say get some subframe connectors, that will help make the car more rigid and give you better control. You could prolly also freshen up the suspension with new bushings. As for performance you can do many different things, you could go with new heads, intake, carb. From the pics it looks like you still got exhaust manifolds on it, if so go with a set of good headers.

Either way nice pick up though, Looks good!
