My cars issues.

I havent posted pics yet with all the issues my SA has in store for me. Alot of it is just minor and on the surface but they are issues none the less. So here are the pics. I would like to get opinions on where to go with this project. Its basically down to the bones and I can do anything to it. So let me hear what you would do. Now for the pics

One area at a time, de rust and bodywork paint. The sunroof looks pretty bad though, might be easier to replace it.

Ok so I finally got the tires off cause they were rusted, and I found the calipers were rusted through the rotors are rusted to hell, and everything else in the wheel well is shot to hell. A lot of things are going to need to be replaced. Does anyone know where to get cheap parts other than a junkyard? I will search the classifieds and see whats available but I would like to know if there is a site i can go to. I will post pics of the damage soon. And more will come as I explore this car more.

Get a new sun roof and hood. Will save you alot of work. But with what you said in the wheel wells with the brakes and such you might want to consider using this car for parts and find another project.
