Once the car rolls, then it can be turned around for a little welding, determining and possibly correcting the front anti-dive, then adding the boots to each end of the steering rack, plus fitting the engine and transmission. Then the new front springs should arrive, which are actually new rear springs for an '83 Chevrolet Celebrity. But only $40 delivered, and 162 pounds per inch rather than around 100, partly because even 162 is still very soft, and partly because I think this V6 is heavier than the rotary was.
After that is the rear suspension, then interior, then exhaust, cooling, fuel, a/c, p/s, audio, gauges, ....
