My '76 LX Project

To get to the point, today i purchased my dream driveline; a 253 V8 with a 4 speed manual to drop in! Boy was i stoked when i got this!!
Ok so i should tell you all know what my plans are for my car:
1. Remove rust of course (mind you there isnt much)
2. Respray in Devil Yellow
3. Drop the 253 4 speed in with twin exhausts and extractors
4. Lower it
If anyone is interested in helping me out with any of these things i wish to do please let me know as i have very limited tools and not a great deal of knowledge!!
There are a few other little things that need to be done but these are my main targets! If anyone has any comments feel free to speak your mind!!
Heres a few pics:

As for your question regarding wheels, i have always liked the look of sprintmasters so i was going to get a set of them for it but to get it going and not making it a huge project to begin with, i am going to stick with the wide stockies as i think they look alright. If you have any wheel suggestions in mind let me know!
Yes it is a bloody straight, reasonably rust free car to begin with... i am even more greatfull after going through some of the others members projects that mine is so rust free! And to think when i got it it was going to become a paddock basher... lucky my passion for toranas over-rode my young brain to not put it through hell!! Hence it sitting outside for years...

Oh and for those that arent aware these pictures are bigger... you just have to click on them and they will load as bigger pics... this just saves time in page loading for everyone.

Oh and does anyone know the best way to remove the brake lines from the engine bay so that i can really attack this rust properly?

I live in the western suburbs, so Riddells Creek is only about 45 minutes from me. And yes, I know where it is because I've been to the scout camp there before (on a school camp).
My studies will preclude me from any activities unless they're on a Saturday, which would probably work better for most of the guys here anyway. Let us know!
Cheers,
John
