Nice project! I really would recommend to do the best job you can afford, in the sense of time as well as money! Take the fenders of and remove all the rust where the fenders meet the body. Look at the joint between the targa bar and the body. Removing paint and body protection (Unterbodenschutz) is less work than you might expect. Remove all the suspension parts, clean them and replace all the bushings - driving the car will be much more fun. Check the steering column and rack, as well as the rubber joint between them. Clean up the whole breaking system, lines, mbc and calipers with new seals - it's all for your safety and other people on the road! Just a few examples, which will not cost you a fortune, only some time.

I'm starting my third project within a few months and experienced that each additional spent minute and euro/dollar will be paid back in many hours of fun and reliability of the car.

As you said: take pictures and pictures and pictures .... It's not only a great help for reassembling, a help for another project or for helping us here at the board, but also great fun to look at after the job has been done.

Take your time to save this unique car and keep posting. Any questions? Don't be afraid to ask.
