Besides making the engine run great another top priority should be handling that rust asap especially if its outside.

Since you asked for suggestions...
1.) Get rid of rust on car
2.) Get rid of rust on rotors
3.) Get rid of rust under car (it's there)
4.) looks like you need a new hood? Might be an illusion
5.) You obviously need new wheels with that Vertex Kit.
6.) I can't tell from the photos, but your high beams seem to be hazy too. Might want to replace them with glass ones. Your projectors could use a plastic polish. I know you mentioned delining them, but they don't look very good in the pics.
7.) I'm not sure if a 97+ bumper grill will fit on the vertex kit, but it would look better than the mesh up top.
