Where to start?

I just bought a 79 Fiat Spider. (North American model) for it's year it is not in bad shape at all. However my plans for this car are to reproduce it as close to mint as possible. My question is where should I start? Engine, Frame, interior, or body. My first thought was to start on frame and engine, then move to cosmetic. But if I lose interest in this project would it be better to have exterior and interior tight for re-sale?

Re: Where to start?

Id say have a hard think on wether you will lose interest or not before doing anything.

If you do the cosmetics first you probably would be more likely to sell it fast/for more, but once they are done and you go to move onto the frame you will have to dismantle a lot which you have just put right.
More time and more likely to get sick of it.
