What do do with this square body?

CLR and a wax and you have a driving project that virtually anyone would want.

My thought today is new tires, pressure wash, new rubber floor mat, recover the seat, and a tuneup. It will likely need a new fuel pump and tank (and lines?) I am thinking from sitting that long. Stored relatively dry and probably non-ethanol fuel in 2007ish but still. Probably need belts and hoses. Transmission was rebuilt in the late 90s so not a lot of miles, but who knows if it is still good-probably in my experience-but not for sure. I have not even tried the engine to see if it turns over but I think it will.

I just spent over $1000-plus a battery-in the last paragraph and who knows about the carburetor or radiator or heater core or brakes or... ?? I didn't replace the bumper or fix the cab corners or mirrors. With that much mouse fluff there is sure to be wiring damage. And on it goes. Where is the point of no returns? I'm definitely not scrapping it, but I am torn on how far to take it knowing I can't keep it forever. I can't do anything to it for about a month anyway. Appreciate the comments so far.
