Here's what I have done so far...
Pulled the gas tank and took it to a radiator shop to have it cleaned and coated. Came back like barand new.
Rebuilt the entire brake system with new master cylinder, I rebuilt all 4 calipers, rebuilt the compensator, new brake lines and hoses, new pads all around.
Changed all oils and fluids. 10w-40 in the engine, GL-1 in the trans, and GL-5 in the rear end.
New timing belt.
Radiator flush and fill.
Complete tune up and injector cleaning.
Ran like crap after I got it started and it warmed up, it had a bad temp sender and now runs great.
New stereo and speakers.
New top. I bought the $149 one on e-bay and it fit and looks great. The only problem I had installing it was not related to the top, but I had to do some repair work top the front bow due to rust, so it took a full weekend to install it.
I put all of the trim and lights back on so I could drive it some before the body work starts. I learned a long time ago (the hard way) to not to paint until the mechanical stuff was done so I don't damage the new paint pulling the engine or leaning over the fenders.
Console overlay should be here Monday so I can finish the interior.
Bought a red headrest cover and convertable top boot from another forum member to replace the ones that were eaten by mice while the PO left the car sit in the woods for about a year.
It now runs great, stops on a dime, and drives great. Bodywork is next. In case anyone is interested, I paid $1,000 for the car and have about an additional $650 in it at this point (parts), total $1,650 if my public school math is correct.
