If you can assemble a lower that replacement is a slice of pie. Even if you couldn't assemble a lower, that replacement job is a piece of cake. Time consuming, yes. difficult, not really.

Non of my lower builds had 61 year old rusty parts with sludge

Looks like now's the time to learn. OR sell the place as is. You start contracting this type of repair out, you'll be knee deep in $$$$ outlay. Pay some merry maids cleaning crew to come in do a top - bottom. Pay them, slap a for sale sign out and wait.

I hear ya. However, I have floor refinishing, tile work, carpet to pull up, counter top replacement, some drywall repair, some electrical, paint, some siding replacement, and the yard to clean up. I would rather focus on the things I am good at and outsource what I am not. I had several things that were due for replacement already plus the damage. I am pretty much screwed when it comes to the "$$$$ outlay". Speaking of which, I have done several bathrooms all the plumbing, electrical, and tile...just don't want to deal with the drain on this one; it's a choice and money well spent.

I don't understand what needs replaced. Can you access the drum trap from the crawl space? If so, should be as simple as opening, then snaking from the open trap.

I no longer have the hardware to connect the overflow to the tub. I talked to the people reference in the thread, and the hookup replacement is my only option.
