How to tackle this?

I personally like the limelight enough to not want the vinyl top. I just spent some time talking to ifitsgotwheels and I know what I plan to do. Plus I found a garage I can rent (too small for the car but more than enough space for the engine and other tiddly bits). It's alarmed too!

So the teardown begins as soon as I can get an appointment to have the insurance claim for the scrape on the passenger side repaired (they'll be giving me a free bumper and trim in addition to doing some work on that fender).
