I recently acquired a project Sunfish that I am unable to identify year. I am hoping I can get some advice on what direction to take with repairs.

I recently acquired a project Sunfish that I am unable to identify year. I am hoping I can get some advice on what direction to take with repairs.
I can see:
- There are no hull stamps visible to identify. I am thinking that previous repairs have covered up any stamps.
- There appears to be a blue colored sticker that was painted over in the cockpit.
- Cockpit and rail has aluminum trip.
- Drain Plug is metal.
- Previous repairs appear sound but patchwork is visible.
- Coaming was installed with screws and toggle bolts.
- When removing deck hardware, all screws were wood screws. Can I use fiberglass repair methods in repairing the boat?
- Rebuild lip in area left of Gudgeon Bracket. How would I go about doing this?
- Remove paint and sand down visible patched areas. Repaint.
- Epoxy repair old Coaming holes.
- Replace trim and hardware.
- Perform leak test and seal leaks using Thixo, 3M 4200, and epoxy (if fiberglass).
- Reinstall Coaming with rivets.
