Subject: [T3] Where to start a resto?


> Hi folks,

> I’m about to get going on my first resto, so please be gentle. :) I have
no illusions about how long it is going to take, and I am going to outsource
some of the work, like welding (I have no tools and no experience and more
to the point, I want it to be good as well as structurally sound :)

> What I’m after is this a reasonable set of major project headings, and in
roughly the right order?
>
> * Carefully remove all interior bits, clean and bag ‘em for later
> * Remove all panels, replace the bodgy / boggy ones
> * Split the pan from the body?
> * Strip / sandblast paint from all panels and pan
> * Fix rust (Probably outsource some of this, can't weld for crap)
> * Powdercoat tinware and petrol tank (outsource this)
> * re-chrome all chrome bits
> * Repaint pan
> * Rejoin body to pan?
> * Smooth/fill and prime body, final sand
> * Paint (I’m outsourcing the final coats to a body shop)
> * POR15 under pan
> * Steering overhaul
> * Engine overhaul
> * Brake overhaul
> * Interior re-trim (I’ll outsource a few things, like seat re-upholstery
and fixing the dash, but I'll follow the excellent howtos on fixing the
clock, et al)
>
> I have the ordinary set of tools lying around (luckily, we've been metric
here since before I was born), and I’ll get what I need when I need them.
