Bringing the old girl back to life. What next???

Hi all. First post here.
Here is my 2001 Specialized Vagas which i have owned from new when i was 16. For the last 15 years or so it has just been left rotting in my garage. I decided (coming up to 40) that i needed to get back on it if i was to avoid a beer belly.
It had a full service, rear brake fixed as i had tried doing it myself 20 years ago and failed. And i have added some new grips which i think compliment the colour well and this morning fitted some moe bars which i always wanted as a kid and got them for a steal!
Wondering what other upgrades people
Recommend and trying to keep it old/mid skool. Im guessing three piece crank, some stunt pegs. Any recommendations.
Thanks

Viking titanium cranks

Does anyone have experience with Viking ti cranks? Obviously, the bike wasn’t finished at the time (no brake cables). So keep your negative comments to yourself!

Finally got the timing on this canopy drop in at the trails! Recorded on 03

I've been using my 3" 04 Pro cinewhoop to fly at these trails for the past year or so but this weekend I broke it on my first pack. I brought my 3.5" 03 cinewhoop along as backup. First I tried running a GoPro on it but after building the muscle memory flying these trails with a 250g quad it just wasn't happening. So I said fuck it and, even though I didn't have any ND filters for it, just went with the 03 footage.

Turned out pretty good IMO! Would have been even better if I hadn't forgotten I was on 2K and 120FPS all day. Whoops.
