One thing though is the twin-I-beam suspension is real easy to work on. Now the "box on tranny where speedo cable attaches", would you be referring to the VSS? If so that part may be slightly costly.

Yikes...sorry to hear about all the work needed 
that kind of defeats the purpose in buying a cheap beater hey...sounds like your doing it right though...that should save alot of headaches later on down the road...good thing you know what your doing...imagine if you had to send it to a shop?
like the other 75-90% of the population
