10 days to rehab car- lengthy question

All-
I live in DC, my father lives in GA- late August I'll be going home to claim my car. This car will need some work, the usual kind of work that a car like that needs after about 150k. I am having some parts shipped down there before I go. I really need to bust ass on it while I'm there; I have to drive it 800 some odd miles back to DC where it will be my highway car from here on out. I don't usually have need to drive in town, I use my bike. Here's what I want to do while I'm there:

1. Valve adj
2. Trans service
3. Diesel purge
4. Throttle linkage adj
5. Glow plug check
6. Turbo check w/ adj if necessary
7. ALDA adj
9. idler arm rebuild, steering shock replacement
10. vacuum system check and service
11. timing chain check
12. brake bleed
13. oil change
14. sunroof repair
15. antenna repair
16. driver's seat repair
17. odo repair
18. front end alignment
19. injector pressure test

Can all of this be done in nine days or so? I have my father to help out, but we kinda do things a little meticulously. Also, I am buying all parts from **************.com. Is this wise? I figured I'd get them all from the same place for convenience sake. Take a look at the list. Is there anything listed that I don't need or can be had at any neighborhood foreign auto parts house for less $$$?
