looks like its in fairly good condition, so what are you really planning to do at school? fixed the body or work on the motor? a good mod could possibly to lower the car maybe buy lsd for it.1. check valve, adjust them if you need to.
2. put new gaskets
3. check your bushing, or possibly upgrade to polyurathane bushings
4. ummmm.....basic Maintenance. theres many things you can do, with your project what are you really suppose to do? just work on your car or what?

We'll i haven't started on the rear suspension yet but the rust.. well all i can say is damned salt states..
tools: basic tool set(to remove wheel, strut, ect), Grinders(rent,buy or borrow from rich friend ), Sanders, welder(borrow?), way to cut metal, undercoat, think thats it. here it is before i even touched it,
 first remove the wheel, remove the strut, unbolt the hard line to soft line holder thing.
i then proceeded to get a medium sized hammer and smash out all of the lose metal, wear safety glasses.. I hooked up my little air grider with a 40 grit pad to break all the loose metal up.
 ended up with this..
Then brought out the big guns, electric grinder, and let the sparks fly.
Sorry for the blurry pic, im wasn't taking it  
but the goal is to get to good bare metal, go as far as you have to. and i now see that the hard line must come off, this was all wensday night. Thats as far as i got. Next steps would be remove hard line, cotinue grinding,make patch out of cardboard, transfer patch to metal, cut metal, tack weld for fitment, weld, undercoat, retap holes for hardline?, and enjoy.
and ps thats not even the bad rust... muwhahha
both quarter panels
 the trunk...
and yes i can stick my fist through my car, and end up in the trunk..

depends on how secure u want ur patch, I personally would try to cover the hole from the outside, its not too bad of a hole and not too deep penertration. Personaly a patch that reconnects the body and frame would be secure. Its all up to you,if you'd like to patch the inside also.

reguarding your question about the pan, i recommend removing the crossmember to clean the pan and block really well for when you reseal it. when i half assed dropped my pan, there was no room to completely clean off the old gasket, and now it's leaking.

thanks for the tip on the oil pan, i was wondering, plus its still all disassembled so it should be easy.
and yes rust blows hard... i still laugh at that old topice where that guy had a touch of rust on his roof and someone said get a new shell.. wdf lol

Yeah I am teh man! Your car is really starting to shape up, im actually quite intrested to see it 6 months from now at the next PA meet. Replacing alot of those old worn out suspension part's and making shure you have good brake's and tires are probably your most important things, im glad your doing this right and not "omg i needz teh SR POWA! in my twofourty yo! it dont matta I aint got brakes!"

 everything is looking okay..
 rotors drilled and installed, calipers bled. looking blinging.. oh yea to redri
ll the 4 lug swap is simple.. i found a tube to tightly fit the hubs and got 2 c clamps and drilled right through. I used a 1/2" drill bit and i was set.  sory for the blur, my firend got grease on the lense 
took the zawsall to the gay muffler..
need to touch about around their but NO holes
Front of the motor done. minus valve seals and rear main..
