if it runs and moves you might want to get the brakes in good shape

start with whatever is an actual safety issue and then move onto the things that will make it more fun/comfortable to drive. as long as the car is safe you can start to enjoy it regardless of how good/bad the interior and body look

thats true, first brakes, then the steering , then get the hood to close [ no hood latch or cable both broke] bolt the seats back in and start to drive it,
