New timing belt. Make sure the balance shaft belt also gets replaced if the balance shafts haven't been eliminated. May as well replace the water pump while you are in there. Since you have a lot of work done previous owner may have replaced the belt (probably did) but if you're not sure it can be a ticking time bomb.
 
+1 on the above post.

Its a 20+ year old car so check out everything that is rubber for rot.Vacuum hoses, I replaced my radiator, heater and other coolant hoses for silicone recently. Check the condition of the rubber hoses for the brake lines. Tires.

Check the turbo for play.

The pad level of the rear brakes.
