The Pelican parts BB! As others have mentioned, you will find endless help and encouragement here. You appear to be on the right track, learning and reading as much as possible before ripping stuff apart! Speaking of working on the car, you might want to set off a "bug bomb" inside the car to kill any spiders or other bitey critters that may have taken up residence. Just a precaution.

I noticed that the dash is cracked. You will have to remove the windshield in order to be able to change the dash cover. While the windshield is out, it will give you a chance to check for rust under the windshield seal. Also check under the batteries and around the pan to which the front suspension bolts.

When you get around to refurbishing the interior, be certain to check out the classifieds here on PP. You will likely find most of what you will need at bargain prices.

Again, welcome and good luck with your project!
