Just bought a 95 GT. Options

I don't know much about how these cars run or whats expected to happen to them. So firstly I wanna do some maintenance and make sure everything's fine with it. As of yesterday it was at 188,888 miles. Its a salvage because the previous owner slammed into the back of a Monte Carlo. The only non cosmetic damage that I know of was to the radiator which has since been replaced. The only problem with the car I know of (besides a bent rim, haha) is the trannys getting old, its an auto btw. It takes a good 5 seconds for reverse to catch and pop in, and when its shifting up (especially into 2nd) it kicks but the revs don't go crazy or anything. Once the car is in 4th (O/D) I have also noticed in 4000rpms area the car seems to stop giving more power. It doesn't stop, it just won't send more power. I heard thats because the 5SFE engine doesn't usually have anything left past 4,400rpms but I just wanted to check in on that. Other then that, I think I have short in my wiring. Whenever I turn my high beams on all the inside lights dim very noticeably. When I bought the car it came with 2 15s and P15 amp (too loud for sure) and those will make the lights dim out almost all the way when they kick hard. So what do yall think I need to look at/do to get this car running like shes new again?

tl;dr It's maintenance time for the first time, what do?

Yea its pretty funny, I don't have a problem with the trucks cause most are actually nice. The Mustangs piss me off though. 240s are starting to come in like crazy to, all the homebrew ricer "JDM" fags.
Well maybe if you still have it here in a month or so when I get some more cash you'll have yourself a deal.
I just bought a WR Secret Weapon Short Ram intake for the first mod in my car. Was on sale for $150 for so I got it. Still trying to decide if I wanna keep the stock heat shield box off or leave it.
