Start sanding one panel at a time, as time allows, primer seal it, then move on to the next when you can.
It is a 1990 model, so the paint is atleast 20 yrs. old.
I've 2 friends that restore old cars and trucks within 7 miles of me and they do 2 or 3 a yr. each,one has 4 cars going right now and the other has 2 going, and they both said the same thing, not savable. But the car is borderline on what it's worth and the paint alone would be about $800.00. I could do all the labor and either one would spray it for next to nothing. I'm trying something and i spent 2 hrs on 1/2 of the rear bumper and it's o'k at 20 foot, but it's so dogone cold here i'm having trouble getting it to dry. I don't have heat in my shop (heck it's supposed to be 60 degrees not 20 degrees that it's been, hell i got Orange trees not heaters.
I'll take a pic tomorrow to show what it looks like.
