A few tips, speaking from someone who's had a few older cars 
1. Go through it with a fine tooth comb, and treat any emerging rust. Don't just leave it unless you can MIG weld.
2. Remove the carb, dismantle it, clean and rebuild it, re-fit it with new gaskets and air filter and then take it to a carb specialist for a tune-up, it'll make a huge difference!
3. Don't get disheartened if you have a few problems, it's an old car so it's inevitable, and old cars are easy to fix.
4. Change the brake fluid. You wouldn't believe how many old cars have gone 10+ years without a fluid change.
Most importantly, enjoy it
