You're already ahead of the curve. Most of us paid to buy our boats and still had to do many of the projects on your list. I wouldn't focus on the "niceties" until she's sailing. Forget about the plumbing for example until the rest of the stuff is sorted out. She'll sail just fine without a working head. Before running out and replacing the standing rigging I would have a rigger check it out. I bet you can get her on the water without too much expense. You should see some of the clunkers people sail out of my club.
