Need some advice on where to start...

Well, I've been putting this project off for 12 years while I've been waiting to move into a place with a garage big enough to do a complete restoration, but I guess it just ain't gonna happen any time soon and I can't put it off any more.

The poor old girl has been in my driveway for the last 12 years since I inherited her from my dad. She used to look real nice, but sun and northwest rain have taken their toll and I've got rust issues starting that have been creeping up that need to be dealt with. My goal is to repair or at least halt the rust progression and get an "OEM" quality paint job with the factory color (504) in a sun resistant polyurethane base/clear. Something I can spiff up once or twice a year with a clay and wax. Like my '96 has. It sits outside too and all I have to do is go over it with a clay bar and wax and it looks like new again.

Sadly, finance dictates that I do most of the work myself, so I'm wondering where to start.

I'm most concerned about the roof, but the doors need attention too and I don't think I'll be able to do it all at once. Then there's the water that pools in the glovebox after a hard rain...
