Be prepared to spend some time and money. Depends on what you want to do but if it is gutted, you will have a lot invested. Take your time and do not be in a hurry. Heck, I spent 5 years on mine.

well.... good luck making substantial progress with no job because that equals no money. but given you are only 15 you have a lot of time to get that thing on the road.

You will find a lot of help here though and when you start doing some serious stuff, you'll be thankful to a lot of people here.

Start with what youve got: cut out all the rust, because cutting doesnt cost anything assuming you have the tools for it. start saving to replace that floor pan and any other parts. do a lot of research.

The good thing about your situation is you can go anywhere with this project you want! it'll be a lot of fun, bud.
