Dog, you have to pull out every thing ,harness, upholstery, windscreens fenders . Clean it up properly then start to work . Pack away everything ,label it even if you not planning to use it back. This will make the restoration easier.
Take off the suspension, scrap it down clean it and replace what is bad. Clean and paint every thing as you mounting back up.
