Apart from all the usefull tips above, i would get under the car and have a good poke about make sure its solid in all the right places, give it a good steam clean etc...
And while under there id change the oil in the diffs and gearbox as you never really know when these were last done...
And flush the coolant and top it up with winter round the corner you can never be to carefull... Best of luck with the car by the way
