Default think i gained little

hit my budget
this year which is the first ive really done anything in years, i've done

oil change
trans fluid and filter
all engine vacuum lines
cap, rotor, coil. wires and plugs
all shocks
brake booster
new carb
fuel line ,pressure gauge, regulator , waiting two weeks for these parts wright from quick fuel , bad part I thought I would get them in a couple days so I took everything apart . think I would of learned with all the stuff I order of my archery business , don't order from manufacture if you want something quick its faster from a distributer .
just over $1600

might try to slip a rear leaf spring by the wife .

next year all bushings and rebuild trailing arms and rear bearings .
might have to raise the budget a little .

If you slip the spring past I suggest a composite spring. Congrats on getting the Ole girl back to fighting shape and good luck, remember it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
