When we start to restore our 1969 saloon just wondered if there is any particular order we should do the jobs?

This has been asked a few times now - maybe a Sticky is needed?
Here's the time I asked;

How extensive is the restoration? If you're going all the way, I think its best to strip the shell of everything but try and keep the bits as complete as you can. These can be restored and made ready in turn (I would leave the engine until you are pretty much ready to use it).
The shell needs to be sorted and painted and once that's done the suspension and axles can make it into a rolling shell. Then you start putting it all back together, leaving the trim and wiring until later on, though some things may need to go in for convenience.
