Best upgrade is to perform all the required maintenance and get it in great shape.

After that the best upgrade depends on your goals.

If the plan is to add power- the v6 doesn’t have much potential without a power adder (I’d go with a turbo or v8 swap) - I’d skip most of the v6 boltons for this reason. Lots of money for little gains.

If the plan is to make it a cruiser / fun ride I’d do suspension work (full length subframe connectors, strut tower brace, springs, shocks/struts, bumpsteer kit, and cc plates. I’m partial to maximum motorsports - they make high quality components.
