So I'll do my best to update here, but I figured I'd start a build thread here so that when I run into issues you guys can help :D
The goal is to "restore" and build this good old machine back to life and get it back onto the streets. It hopefully will be come my Daily(my commute is 15 miles run trip) as I plan to get rid of the speed3. It had been sitting for 3+ years so I am going to have my work cut out for me .
As of right now I plan to do the car in stages,
Stage 1: Maintenance basically. The plan is to replace WP, seals and belts, along with brakes(PITA), and then suspension.
Stage 2: Fixing annoying stuff. Things like currently driver side window doesn't work .
Stage 3: Start upgrades, The goal right now is just a nice 200ish whp. I do plan to replace all the old bushing with upgraded bushing.
stage 4/Super future: Pending long term plans for this old girl, maybe one day do the whole All-trac transmission swap and then I can build an insane car.
Here are some photos from the PO yard.

Like I said, it been sitting for a while and his yard was trying to slowly eat it
Got to love the good old 80s interiors. Shocking the dash and all the interior is in great shape. There is a tear on the Driver seat but the rest are still in great shape. Just needs a good cleaning.
Sweet part is as I been digging through the car I keep find more and more stuff, like this:
Oh and the car already has SS brake lines and SS clutch line .
