Hello, I have a 1966 Beetle that has sat since 2011 outside for two years and inside the rest of the time. I was dealing with a divorce, death of my father etc... and I let her just sit. I am now ready to get back into restoring the car. Before the car sat the engine and the transmission had been rebuilt. She needs new paint inside and out. The prior owner cut the dash for a modern stereo so I have a patch panel from Wolfsburg West. The rear portion of the pans have fiberglass mat and POR15 patching the holes. I have one small dent in right rear fender and a rust bubble below the rear window. The car has an inexpensive paint job that has been on the car since I owned it. The paint needs to be removed prior to repainting. Before she was parked I was working on the mechanical parts of the car in hopes that one day I would have the funds for the cosmetic portion of the restoration. Okay, with all that said. I am feeling a little overwhelmed and I don't know where to begin again in her restoration. The brakes are locked up, the engine turns over, I have some issues with the starter. I know I need to replace the starter with a rebuilt 6 volt starter, I also want to purchase a rebuilt 6 volt generator/regulator. I want to replace the entire wiring harness. I have a 6 volt AM Radio that needs to be gone through (currently in storage, which I need to locate). I figured all new rubber from Wolfsburg West, etc... etc... etc... Has anyone on here rebuilt a car from the ground up? If so, how do you stay organised and on task? Thank you for your time,Greg
