Phew! Slow progress, but finally finished with breaking the components down. Cleaned up a ridiculous amount of grime, mud, oil residue, cobwebs, spiders (both dead and alive).
Right side brake lever straight up snapped in half while I was getting the cable out.
I had to order a 15mm socket for my breaker bar in order the get the rear wheel out, the nut was so rusted. Then I've spent a good 20 minutes with separating the washers from the dropouts. Oh well, Evaporust made them sort of rust-free again.
Tomorrow I'll source some spokes and start building it up.
