Suggestions for maintenance with access to a restoration bay

Hi,

I will hopefully have access to a short term (8 week) restoration bay at the local classic car club starting in September this year. I'm going to take advantage of this to do as much work as possible on the D3.

In prep I'm looking for suggestions for what to tackle. The intention is to remove the body during the work so access to most parts should be a bit easier.

The car so far has already had its oil pump and all 3 belts replaced, shortly the lower suspension arm on the rear because thats broken...

Any suggestions on how to approch this would be great Smile
