Ok, after going through the car tonight, my current plan is to work in three stages:

Stage 1: Safety. New tires, brakes, windshield. Oil change, air filter and replace MAF boot.
Get inspected, tagged and insured.

Stage 2: Cooling, tune up and convenience odds and ends (window regulators, seat heater, etc)
Teach kids to drive it.

Stage 3: Drivetrain. After the new drivers are finished abusing the clutch, pull the transmission, driveshaft and dif and replace the dif bushings, clutch, center carrier bearing, shift linkage bushings, and detent pins in the transmission.

God willing that'll be it.
