Hello everyone.
So this is a tree I will be working on soon, I will wire every branch and put them in their place, I’ll also be repotting it. The nebari has come along nicely.
What do you think I should do on this beautiful tree?
Any advice from the experts and tips are welcome.
Kind regards,
Nick

Very beatiful tree. In my opinion it is just a question about develop pads and ramification in this stage. However, depending on where you live, it might not be the right time to do it now.

Have no idea of your skill level, it I wouldn’t dare to do both in the same season to a gorgeous plant like that...

Considering your questions and the maturity of this pine my advice would be to find an experienced hand locally and work this tree only with them.
Repotting and wiring mature pines in the same session is a no-go.
I have been growing bonsai about 10 years now. I still am too impatient and rough with pines. They are very robust once healthy. But prima donnas when it comes to working them the wrong way.
