just fix it up dont worry about plates yet - get your boyfriend to check all the coolent hoses (if they havent been changed from the 80s then , thats the 1st thing todo as i had them blowing 1 after another when i was on Ls with my calais , also fix the motor in the pop up lights (doesnt close fully ?) .also if your going to lower the car id get a panhard rod - new shocks - struts -springs ect to give it a smoother ride . and besides that your boyfriends car looks like mine haha also fix up any paint thats fadded / has clear coat coming off (even if its tiny trust me ends up lookin bad haha (as i found out) also for you boyfriend to get some idea's =D

Good color, I would get white slim number plates, keep the machined look of the rims then find some extractors, have them bead blasted and painted, drill out the airbox base and spend money on things like plugs and leads then buy premium fuel sometimes to mix with the ulp.
