I think suspension has no proper damping to match springs + weight on this one:

Nice empty spot away from traffic there, nicely done
VND if you have running issues, try to put hot air pickup tube there, with damp weather carb can try to ice, tube will help, even if there is no that metal air pickup on exhaust manifold, attaching tube there with steel wire and cutting 'bottom' of tube out for 10cm length or so should provide some help, but if there are no issues, don't fiddle with it, with some cars there can be issues when pickup is in there, fillthyjohn probably knows better
I think that oversize black mudflaps might look nice at front

+5 to 0 is most difficult range, humidity of air causes the issue, but this varies a lot from car to car.
My 360 for example did froze carb solid once when it was +2C or so and there was dense fog floating above icy scenery. Throttle butterfly could not move as carb was full of ice, had to whack ice quite some time with screwdriver to make hole penetrable again.

You never know VND with your reverse Midas touch try rubbing yourself up on the Fiero, you never know the rust may become solid metal and it'll transform into a perfect running minter

^^^ That's something I've never seen, though I've mostly had carb cars either with standard airboxes. And my 340 with twin carbs and no filters, though that was summer.
