[Roadsters] Trying to Resuscitate Trixie

Just over two years ago heading home from downtown, Trixie started
having some problems.  Trixie is a 1968 (ish) Datsun 1600.  As I would
push on the accelerator the lights would get brighter, as I left it off,
they would dim and the car would stall.  I assumed that it was an
alternator issue, but parked the car and lifebs interferences began.

Now two years later, I have an uninstalled new alternator and belts
sitting in the garage.  Four tires that need replaced.  I am sure a
battery that is not only dead (lack of charge) but dead.

If it were you and you had a day to try and bring life back into Trixie,
what steps would you take??  I am sure charge the battery and try to
crank it would not be the best solution, but my default.  Thus my
question to the group.
