How can I bring this forward so the junction box is accessible?
Do I just get enough single gang extension rings to bring it out far enough to sit flush with the drywall?
Or do I add an access panel on the drywall?

I think the box that’s sunk into the wall is in concrete. That’s where the power comes in. I’m in Chicago and the code here requires conduit, so I don’t think it’s FMC.
The FMC I think I want to replace with some 12/2 FMC I have so I can get it to the correct length and have fewer junctions.
I’m not sure I can do much with the single gang box, but what I am thinking is extend that out with a ring, use new 12/2 FMC with a ground wire and put a cover on it. Then install an access panel in the drywall so it’s not concealed. It only goes to a single outlet downstream. Would that be up to code?
Bonus: This circuit goes to the can lighting in the ceiling. This was hiding behind a bar a previous home owner installed. (And another concealed junction box)
This one I can’t rerun the FMC, but I have a ground wire Im going to try to pull through.
