I could really use heads-up's on what I should install and or change before beginning to daily a 12a FB. Also tips would be great. Anything that would help improve the life expectancy of the car as well as keep the car in the best condition for as long as possible while daily driving it will help greatly.

There isn't really anything special that any 30+ years old car might need.

1. All hoses
2. Brakes
3. Bushings
4. All fluids
5. Spark plugs and ignition parts
6. Good battery
7. Wipers

Im workin on my FB right now. Carb Rebuild, New Intake and Exhaust Manifold Gaskets, As previous poster mentioned new hoses, and Vac Lines. I am lucky enough to have bought the car with new Rad hoses from Racing Beat and new water pump, and new plugs and wires. Theres a coolant passage in the intake that may leak around the gasket areas, (I had this leak). I ordered 20mm Freeze Plugs from my local oReilly's. Everything I have read here on rxclub said to block the coolant passages in the rotor housings with the freeze plugs with a little RTV on the outsides. They warm the intake manifold, not really necessary.

is the car currently running/driving? had it been sitting long before u bought it? if it never sat for any length of time it may only need just the normal ware items.

@rxtasy3 from how the car looks as of now, it does seem like its been sitting for a while so I am going to replace the ideal things to be replaced.

Pretty much what everyone else said.
Plugs, hoses, belts, battery
Make sure to weekly check fluids, reservoirs to make sure they are not leaking, check oil levels!
If you are going to drive it daily, I also would not beat on it too much to extend the life of engine
