This list looks fantastic if you somehow mashed up 93/94 and Pauper into a format XD
I don't know if you're looking for suggestions or just appreciating an older list, but there's some cards that have strictly better conversions. Looming Shade is strictly better than Frozen Shade, and Consume Spirit is strictly better than Drain Life.

I like more Red actually. Scrap Trawler has great recursion with the very diverse mana curve and it can edge in pretty decent damage with Pia's Revolution If you put your opponent in the right spot. Going back to the hand to avoid damage from Revolution still hits the graveyard to trigger the Trawler if there are legal targets. There are many sac outlets to exploit, such as Metalwork Colossus. Pitch the Colossus to something like Key to the City to get a hit in and then bring the Colosus back to hand by killing off two Constructs that will trigger both things and either keep your hand nice and full or edge in more damage and it's completely sustainable. If you ever actually play the Colossus it can die and bring back literally anything and then buy itself back as well. Good idea to run Hedron Archive for the mana and cost reduction just in case. He's also a construct, so there's that. All of this gives good reason to run Cathartic Reunion too to help draw through everything.
It's expensive, but I also like the idea of Aegis Automaton being able to bounce things with ETB abilities like the Gearhulks or even Ballista.
Also, there might be some power behind Augmenting Automaton and Crackdown Construct. Good old fashioned Looming Shade but it pumps both.
You can't overlook my favorite Construct in Standard either: Hedron Crawler, because mana :)
Just tossing ideas around. I'll throw together a Red build because I think that's where I'm most comfortable and see what happens.

How nice to see a commnader deck that isn't showed on here often.
I have been wondering what has some nice interactions with your commanders choice. Pump effects might prove to be a valuable asset for your deck:
Not sure if you want to go this way, but I think it can be interesting to consider nevertheless.
Enjoy!
