Info: This car is a scarp heap and will probably be scrapped within a year or two... if it lasts lol. There are rust all over the car and dents everywhere because of idiots driving in it while it's parked without even leaving a note

All I want to accomplish with this "project" is to restore the most of the body and keep it clean and nice to drive it from point A to point B, and yes you're allowed to laugh at this rust pile lol.

Feel free to suggest things!
