Besides the routine its going to take you a few months to realize the other needs the car may have. I bought an 83 245 that felt really good when I test drove it. A little bouncy but it had power. I thought the owner was really nice for filling the tank up and being curious about how far my house was. A few days later the bucking started with the tank a little about half. It needed some work on the in tank gas pump. Actually I switched out the sending unit and pump since they where covered with stuff from when the car sat some time. From there the motor mount, the engine wiring harness so the battery wouldn't die, the power steering rack replaced with a donor, torque rod bushings changed to poly, and a lot more. Take it one month at a time. Look it over and keep reading all the posts every day here on the BB to take into account the possibilities of what could be going wrong. Hopefully you've got a lot less than I had to deal with. But I wouldn't have traded the experience of reworking the car and saving it for any new 800 series.
