Often times doner parts are used for completion, consequently things like suspension bushings are not replaced and sometimes need attention. Other items such as steering column attachment or bushings, Ball joints, steering tie rods, shock mounts, Emergency brake cables and hardware under the floorboard or tunnel. Next focus on the dashboard, sometimes it can rattle at the attaching points or at the top edge near the cowl. Go over all the nuts and bolts throughout the entire car, this will take some time. You might find it prudent to replace some fasteners with nylock type nuts and better grade bolts. Lastly look at the entire exhaust system, check to see if it is contacting any of the frame or other parts of the car. Good luck...just take your time and be thourough.
