You should be able to get a inlet manifold, coilovers and maybe a rear anti roll bar for that. Then stripping it obviously is free

Std brakes, Cheapo discs, GM pads.

Shocks/springs will be personal preference, height and how hard. Strip some weight as said, maybe go for fibreglass bonnet to lose some weight over the front (which is where you want the most weighloss from)

weight saving is a good way. you can accelerate, stop and turn quicker. once you run out off things to take off you can change things for lighter items, battery, wheels it all adds up.
