You can spend a lot of money on disc brakes and such, and end up lowering the value of the car to no good end. I'd stay way from 12 volts, disc brakes, coilovers, etc. The engine looks like someone may have done, or attempted, an in-frame overhaul. The engine may be good to go, or not. These cars were very competent when new, and one that is in good condition is fully roadworthy today. The engine was factory balanced and equipped with a forged steel crankshaft, full pressure lubrication, and full insert bearings.
