I was later informed that the owner had actually been traded the car in return for yardwork

and the interior after a good clean, I have since replaced that ghetto rigged belt with an original one.

So far I have replaced both the clutch master and slave cylinder, as well as the rubber clutch hose, the brake booster, and master cylinder. I also rebuilt the front brake calipers and replaced all the rubber brake hoses.
Unfortunately the gas tank was in pretty rough shape, it looks as though the previous owner attempted to replace the bad fuel pump but only got as far as cutting/disconnecting the hoses

I was able to clean up the pump bracket and install a new pump, as well as clean up the outside and the contacts on the fuel level sending unit

and I was able to get the gunk, and most of the rust out of the tank using some cleaning chemicals from KBS and a lot of shaking, pics are from about halfway through with the cleaning

since the flex line on the fuel sending line had been cut and a replacement seemed to be impossible to find I replaced it with -AN fittings and braided SS hose

Next up is suspension, I already have a set of TRD 6Kg front 5.1Kg rear springs, with some KYB AGX mr2/camaro shocks to go with them which should be installed early march, as well as replacement driver side hinges. The exhaust system is next on the list since it appears that it was replaced with the exhaust from an sr5 and the muffler looks like this

Im going with 2" from the cat back with an 18" glasspack in the middle as a resonator and just a cheap muffler for now. If anyone has experience with a similar exhaust comments would be appreciated, I do not want something that will be loud, and I am hoping that this setup with a nicer muffler will be a good blend of performance without being annoyingly loud.
