How's it go!?
So I'm new to the game of project cars, well relatively new.. I own a 91 accord wagon and wanted to know what beginning maintenance or work would be suggested first? I've scheduled a oil change and replaced the air intake filter so far but im not sure where to direct my priorities. Any advice for a beginner car build?

 

If no records, check the owners manual for scheduled maintenance and follow that.

On coupes/sedans the front wheel bearings are usually worn by 90Kmiles. This style of bearing doesn't make noise when they go bad, you will need to watch the front tire inside tread block for scalloping wear.
Usually evident after a tire rotation, the now rear tires will show inner tread block wear of every other tread block.

Check tire pressure, tire technology has changed a bit since the 90's, your current door sticker pressure rating may not work well for your tires. Watch for under/overinflation wear. Adjust accordingly.

 

For me, an easy start to maintenance when I get a "new to me" vehicle is to start replacing fluids. This can give me some clues to the true condition of the car, and just as often they are fluids no one thinks to change so it's needed regardless.

Oil for engine
Transmission fluid (for a manual, one empty and refill, for an automatic 3 empties and refills over timespan of 3 weeks to get it all out)
brake fluid (unless it looks clear, highly unlikely)
radiator fluid (no matter the condition) and I also change the hoses at that time because odds are it's needed, inexpensive, and not going to hurt

Then I start looking under the car for tears in bushings, make note of leaks, tire wear (looking for uneveness), axles for tears in bellows

Then I tend to start patching up leaks
common ones like valve cover gasket
distributor o-rings
oil pan gasket

I tend to change easy filter as well, like the intake air filter, but also the air conditioning interior cabin filter

I check belts to see their condition and replace if they look cracked

After that its's driving to see how the suspension is doing. If in bad shape I then tend to go over that and replace what I can starting with shocks/springs , control arms, tie rods.
