Hello Robert.
Welcome to the forum. That certainly does look like a project, start a resto thread in the gallery section and keep us updated.

Hiya, wow, when you say 'new' project, have you restored others?. When was it last 'on the road'?.

Prepare yourself for the worst and where you see rust there will always be more behind it. Rear quarters lower sides A pillars etc. The bits you will never see again are the most important. Do a little bit at a time and finish it. Buy the best panels you can as some are way off the mark fitting wise. I returned a front wing door step section as it was inches out! Paid more for a genuine one and saved a fortune in time. It will be worth it. Beware of aftermarket shiny things as I bought new slot mags that now look like a snail has eaten them so it is off with the lacquer which is a complete waste of time. They are easier to keep shiny using Solvol Autosol. Good luck! PS my rear quarter panel had a copy of the sun stuffed in it. George Harrison had just died! So a good amount of time was fixing other owners bodges!

Yes, starts and runs (did tune up) & new brakes (everything) too! Lots of rust repair work ahead.
