Fix all areas of rust, protect everywhere you can inside and out from rust, then everything else is easy to keep on top of

Id add that if it's a significant rebuild then try to get an idea of what you're looking to achieve. Are you after an original car or are you will to put in a few choice mods. Best to go decide before you start rebuilding :D
