Thank you all for your advice. @Clive, I want to make this GT6 a car for weekend drives. In terms of tools that I will need - what tools should I invest in and where's the best place to get it from? I am in Barking, East London/Essex border - anyone else with a GT6 around there, who can possibly help and advise?

Hi All, I want your help and advice as I am buying my first classic car - a Triumph GT6 Mk3 - its a December 1973 model, in red with overdrive. Its been in dry storage for 20 years and has got body damage to the LHS, front panel, door and rear panel and some rust in the usual places. Inside is not too bad - just needs somes TLC. The previous owner has given lots of spares, including the new panels and doors. The help I require is where should I start in terms of getting this baby back on to the road? Should I start stripping everything back or start with getting the engine started, dealing with the rust and replacing the panels? As stated, this is my first classic car, I do not have any experience of dealing with cars so any advice and tips before I do anything will be greatly appreciated! Thank you
