Generally, I strip the car to a rolling shell, pull the engine, interior, etc. I have two good friends who own a body/resto shop and they treat me right. Once we get it to their shop, we'll pull the suspension and wheels and put the car on a rotisserie. They will handle the fabrication and paint. Meanwhile, I will tear down the engine and see what kind of shape its in. I have never worked on a ZF (only toploaders), but I guess there's a first time for everything. I'll blast and paint all the suspension parts, etc. Once I get the car back from paint its just a big jigsaw puzzle.
I will definitely have to do something with the interior. The original upholstery is just plain ugly.
