I've had builds where I thought I had to fix everything at once and consequently the build stalled and I got discouraged. Hopefully this makes sense. Maybe I'll just summarize by saying good job!
100% with you on this. Pretty much exactly how i'm doing my 82 and how i've done several projects. Rarely have I ever fully torn something down completely because i know damn well it will likely take much longer to do for one, and a lot of times interest gets lost due to the laundry list of things to do. Much easier to move in stages if possible. I usually don't dive into a project unless I have all the parts there to do it at once to reduce downtime. Much more fun to be able to enjoy than watch it sit on jackstands.
