Front Struts, Help with a parts list and directions Options

[Deusexmachina77]

Hello,

I'm about to tackle my front suspension. The struts are leaking and need to be replaced.
I have looked at a few videos several times. And tried to order parts. But I keep getting overwhelmed by choices and what is necessary to change.

I'm on a pretty tight budget. I'm not looking to throw a ton of money into the restoration. This is a weekend driver, and I have no plans for the track or anything that will require a higher level of performance
1. Can I get some recommendations on replacement struts?

I want to swap out what needs replacing, but I don't know how to assess what can stay and what should be replaced when doing the front suspension.

2. What are the bits and pieces I should check and replace? Are most things obvious that need changing, or because of time and lack of attention, is it just best to do...(the following).

3. If there is a parts list or a checklist I can follow like I did to remove the engine, please let me know.

4. Any specialty tools I should consider to make the job easier?

As always, thank you in advance for your guidance.
Victor
