Where should I start?
I'm nearing the end of my college educational experience. I will be finished with school in 4 months. After I get it over with, I am going to start working on my C3. Here's a short list of what needs to be done:
Minor body work, including smoothing chips, fixing the place where the door spring broke which caused the hinge to chip out a place on the edge of the door.
Interior work including new carpet and re-covering the seats.
New carburetor.
Fix leaky transmission.
Fix leaky power steering.
Replace brake calipers (old ones are working ok, but want sleeved calipers.)
Replace bushings w/ polyurethane to stop squeaking in rear.

IMO I would do whatever it takes to make it a good and safe driver out of it.
It is easy to get motivated to finish the project, if you get to dirve it.

I think there is a saying that is "Stop, Go, Show". Make sure you have good brakes; then get it going real good (engine and drive train); finally start making it look good.
