I’m restoring mine as well, engine out and suspension removed. Check for rust where the clutch tube exits the tunnel.

I would clean, clean, clean. Engine compartment, wheel wells, underside, inside under floor mats. Checking for rust as you go. All before sending off for paint, you may need a little body work first.
