New member and first time Jaguar owner

Hello all, my name is Mo Baiz and I just purchased my first Jaguar, a 1959 MK 9. The car seems to be complete except for the indicator lights on the fender and a tail light lens but it is in desperate need of a major restoration. I've never restored a car before but fell in love with this vehicle the moment I seen it. I'm hoping to find anyone that can give me some pointers on what to start on first. Everyone around me thought I was nuts when I showed them the pics but I just fell in love with her and cant wait till she arrives next week. I'm having her shipped from florida where it's been sitting in a barn for the past 28 years. The engine is all there with only 39,000 miles on it. Any info would be appreciated.
