My parents have a 68 XR7 which they have said I could have. They bought it new in Texas, then move to Louisiana and then Florida. It's been sitting in a garage for the last 15 years, not run or touched really. It was green with a black vinyl top. My mom pulled the vinyl top before there was too much rust. There are some holes in the body, right at the bottom of the rear window, also at the front of the hood. She also had it repainted, but I don't think it was such a great job, and the paint has flaked off to bare metal in spots, although they haven't started rusting yet. I don't need it for a driver, but also don't have a lot of extra money right now. My husband is into other cars, so I was actually thinking of working on it myself. He's got all the tools, just not enough time with all the cars he's acquired. The interior doesn't look too bad, although there is some warpage probably from the Florida/Texas sun/heat and the headliner is falling down. I know the seats are cracked, Mom made seat covers 20 years ago. And I vaguely recall that they might have needed something done with the timing, hence the parking and new car purchase.
Just wondering where to start. Is there a checklist or spreadsheet of things to be done?
Is there more than one color of green for that year?
