It's hard to determine how for I want to go on this restoration. I think I'll get the brakes and interior completed and then sand blast the underside and wheel well areas this winter, along with completing the paint job. At least this way I'll be able to drive the thing this summer!
Here's a link to the car somewhat torn apart:

Congratulations Josh. So how bad was the clutch? It's not that bad a job to do. When you drop the tranny there are a couple of bolts that are hard to get to, but with some ratdchet extensions and a swivel socket, plus a little patientce, they do come out. The flex disc probably hasn't been changed in a while, I'm guessing, so be sure to check it's condition. It's a rubber donut shaped part between the tranny and the driveline.
You got a great deal.
