Winter projects

Hello all. I recently brought home my 1956 executive. As I have yet to rid the car of the smell of mouse and bat poo, the wife will not allow it in the garage. I am looking for suggestions for what I may be able to restore / rebuild during the winter months. Already going to get the washer bottle fixed, thankfully the car has sat inside for 50 years. I am mechanically inclined and the intent is to get the car mechanically safe to drive. This will be my first project of this nature. What can come off the car easily & go into the garage and be cleaned up, be repaired, have seals replaced? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Oh, any tips on removing the smells? Have washed the car outside! Vacuumed and wash down the interior, removing mouse nests and droppings as I went. Should the carpet come out? Needs to be replaced anyways?

Thank you
