What do you have?
You need basic mechanical and electrical skills to fix up an old car, the best way to learn is to get a mentor who can walk you through the processes as you come to them, for example how to remove a door panel or repair a loose tie rod end, on an item by item basis.

Refurbish or restore? Washing and polishing and cleaning the interior or rebuilding it from the frame?
Janie, You have to start with the make and model. It depends on what you want to refurbish, and how much money you have to spend. Some car magazines have information on where to get started. I'd Google it. "How to refurbish a say 1973 Chevy Nova". Good Luck Aloha!
Sometimes there is no point in repairing old cars, so are you sure you shouldn't just scrap it? With the proceeds, you could buy a new car. At least this way you could be sure that your car will work for a long time.
I think it depends on what you're trying to accomplish and if the car is worth your time, energy, and money. You might try finding websites about the car you have.
I agree with what the user above me said. You're just wasting your money. I think it would be better for you to scrap your car. This way, you can either keep the pieces from it or get some cash for your next vehicle. Old cars can also be dangerous to the environment. With the money you'd refurbish the old car, you could easily buy a new one. At least that's how I did with my old car. I scrapped it after I compared prices on https://www.scrapi.com/scrap-car-comparison and got a new car. It was a second-hand one, but way better than the old one.
There are many ways to make the car look more original and I even read some articles about it on the internet. Personally, I am more attracted to old and simple cars, without any special things. It seems to me such cars are already special and unique. When I visited the British car museum, I was shocked to see over 100 British Classic cars, from the days of the Austin Seven up to the latest McLaren. I bought tickets from greatbritishcarjourney.com again for this summer and we will go with the family. We can't wait to go, especially our little boy.
YouTube has lots of videos of people restoring and repairing cars.... start by searching your car model and year.
