This is my most prized posestion.
It was a gift from my grandfather and the last thing he wanted to do was get it restored so now im going to do it.
These are the only pictures I can upload at the time.

I saw one of the exact same year with the same paint and it was also fadded but it wasnt rusting yet. I wish mine wasnt rusting so bad but i guess its something that will help me learn.

Yes it has the vinyl but its looks navy blue (ok condition just a slight fade) so i guess im going to have to recover it with black to go with my planned paintjob.
No rips or cracks.

I have Zero parts for your car, I only have GTS parts which are completely different. :( That is beyond sanding.. You'll never get paint to stick once the metal gets that crusty. I cringe thinking about trying to get something to stick and make that smooth again.. Better off with clean used parts or try Keystone. They still might be making those parts NEW. That Roof is going to be a Beeeeaaaach!!
