Newb here. I know very little about cars but interested in really getting into this stuff. So I brought a 1991 Integra automatic and I'm not sure if it's GS, LS, or what. I know, it sounds ridiculous but I bought it off of someone who bought it off of someone who had it as a project car. Needed a cheap beater because that's all I could afford and that's exactly what I got. Now I'm looking to put a little work into this thing and make it more than just a beater but not sure where exactly to start. I want more power (my last car was an 00 Mustang v6) but I'm not (as of now) interested in putting this thing on a racetrack.

I'm told the engine was rebuilt and has ~40K on it and trans has 100K, can't confirm either with certainty.
As of now, I've ordered front wheel bearings, brakes, rotors and a repair manual. 100% those are needed.
Here are some other things I'm thinking about doing.
New NGK spark plugs.
Transmission flush/possible "tune up". It's shifting pretty hard
Replace rear bearings, rotors and brakes.
Switch air intake and change exhaust system; header & back cat
Maybe new shocks. Not sure yet. I'd like to take this on long road trips (i.e. 10 hr+ drives) and want the ride comfortable

I want to take out the entire interior and replace with black. New seats and change seat belts to regular 3 point that don't move

New wheels. I'd like at least 16"
Fix any rust area, mainly rear driver side bumper area. Body kit and dip the whole car

Hatch doesn't sit flush on the body. There's no leaks but I don't like the gap. Probably need a new hatch.

Front driver side headlight also isn't flush
