Mark,
Yes .. those things that deteriorate .. water and fuel lines in particular .. need attention. But as you said, all of those things are good DIY projects. Even rebuilding the carb is fairly straightforward (as long as you use your digital camera to capture how it was disassembled). I might change my opinion if the car had been stored under s shade tree for 15 years (it wasn't .. right?). And YES .. 19 years .. my bad. I got distracted.
