Before anything make a plan, know what you want it to be when you're finished and what will need to be done and bought to make it so. Plan at what steps in the job you need to buy parts and materials so you don't need to buy stuff that isn't needed until later on.
When you start disassembling have ziploc bags, tape and pemanent marker/pen to store the nuts, bolts, screws and assorted small parts and record where they go.
Don't be in a hurry, take your time and take lots of pictures. The more detailed pictures you take of disassembly and placement of parts will help the reassembly process.
Also it's good to have a large enough garage, shop or shed where you can work and store everything over the entire time of the restoration ( I bought a new house and had to pack up my 7 LItre and move in the middle of it's restoration, it wasn't fun).
Here's my 7 Litre, it's been done for a few years now.
