It looks like I’ve got about everything needed for getting back to work on this project so will put it front-burner once I dig it out after the shop’s insulation project which caused everything in the shop to be compressed over into the two-thirds space where it is located.

Simplified here and not necessarily in the exact order but these are the basic tasks with the primary goal of getting it movable under its own power:

Clean and seal gas tank (have cleaner and sealer)
Rebuild fuel pump (have kit)
Install new fuel sender (being rebuilt now)
Clean fuel lines and install tank with new filler hoses

Install muffler (I already have several new ones)
Install tail pipe (an NOS one has been sourced)

Install already-rebuilt brake cylinders
Install sleeved and rebuilt master
Replace rear axle seals and maybe bearings
Install replacement rear end with reproduced steel crossover lines
Clean wheels and install new tires (already have them)

Take off bell housing and check clutch
Repair is a needed, reassemble clutch
Install R11 transmission
Install driveshaft with new u-joints and revulcanized supports (have all)

Add petrol, start it and drive! Yea, sure.

For the body, nothing is planned except to replace the rear door and I have a replacement already. I may have the rocker panels addressed at some point as there is little left and it leaves a trail of rust pieces whenever moved but not sure yet.
