30 year old suspension
I'm about to embark on what I hope will be a 2 or 3 week activity to renew my front and rear suspension. (got about one month before driving anytime happens here). The car has significantly more miles than yours though at 240k. I'd guess that if its something you want to do, focus on rubber/resiliant parts. ie, bushings, shocks, maybe ball joints if the rubber boot isn't good. I'd guess all the metal parts, including the ball joints are good at only 82k.
There really aren't that many bolts and if the car is garaged mostly, then alot of wait time on plating can be avoided. Just clean a little and/or paint. You could tackle the front now and do the rear in the fall. What complicates is extreme cleaning, cosmetics, and fancy suspension mods.. I don't do any of those things.
