Hey Apolan,

That is good new man!

Like Ivan said but I need to add a bit of advise from my perspective. Indeed post up some pictures to show us how the car is at the moment and whats happened to it. Offcourse you can start building her up but if she is mostly taken appart there is no time like the present to do any body work that is required.

If the pictures at the start of this thread are anything to go by it looks like most of the car is still in one piece. You need to make a choice then, whether to take her appart, clean her up, and put her back together, or just continue the build. It all depends how much the previous owner has done to her. So more pictures please If you plan to take her appart first and the current condition allows it, make sure to first start her up and drive her a bit, even if its on a parkinglot with all the bits that aren't put together out of the car. This will give you a good idea what other things you'll need to be taking care off.

Start with the body work, regardless of taking her appart (although it is easier that way, just a whole lot of work). Make sure she's rustfree, fix anything questionable. I didn't have to take my car appart to get the things done to mine, but that may not apply to yours.
One thing I do advise you is take as much of the interiour out as you can, so seats and side moldings and such. First it will reveal problems, but also it makes it so much easier to work on the car when there is nothing in your way. It takes an hour or so to get everything out and just as much time to put it back in later on.

If the body work is in order then doing the suspention and steering first is a must. This will make the car a rolling chassis. Having the car rolling has obvious advantages as you can move the car around, put it on the lift, etc. If you are planning suspention upgrades make a choice which things you can do now or later. Bushings obviously have priority if things are appart anyways, else you just have to undo all that you do now. But if you are planning aftermarket springs or shocks, that you can do at the end aswell keeping her on the stock stuff first. All depends what you already have ordered or what you are still waiting for.

After suspention the engine should be next. Get her purring again, with the engine and suspention in you can drive the car around a bit again
Then its just a question of putting all the missing bits back onto the car.
