My 1980 924 Turbo Purchase Project Mexico Beige/Mocha Black Project! Advice Welcome

Hey Everyone Im new to the Porsche Water Cooled Cars. Figured its time to step away from my 912 for a Mental Break of the Project. started looking around I Found this Car online 931 In Mexico Beige/Mocha Black 2 tone Paint Turbo.

Story Behind the car Was Grandpas Car, Bought it new. Grandpas Gone (passed) Grandson Abused the maintenance, Boom Head Gasket. No Desire to Bring back Grandpas Pride and Joy. (this kid will regret it Grandpa is Livid im Sure)
-Did compression Test
-Drained checked Fluids
-Hand turned the Block
Seems to Show all Signs Head Gasket

After seeing the car i don't or am not ready for a project but i just couldn't resist. i figure Head Gasket, New timing and a few other cosmetic Tweaks and He'll be one of my pride and Joy

The Good

83k Original Miles
Car came with File book Of maintenance Records
Gob's and Gob's of Extra Parts
Exterior 7-10
interior 8-10
Pirelli Tires 80%
Removable Top With the Leather Drive Sunroof top

I picked the car up Friday Night time for wrench work Today

ANY ADVICE OR COMMENTS ARE WELCOME, EXTRA EXCITED TO TURN HIM INTO MY DAILY DRIVER.

PLAN IS TO DO NEW HEAD GASKET AND TIMING BELT, ALSO DROPPING THE HEADS OFF AT THE MACHINE SHOP

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD REPLACE WHILE IN INTO THE CAR THIS DEEP AT THIS POINT?

THANKS FRIENDS
