Britter...welcome to the forum!

I would suggest stripping and bodyworking one panel at a time. If you stripped the complete car, sometimes this becomes a very intimidating task.
one panel at a time is pretty manageable, plus you'll get better as you go.
If you decide not to strip it, and you just want to do the bodywork, prime these areas, sand the car, then paint it, this will even make it easier. But I would guess since you have an older Holden, that it's been painted a couple times + so you'll probably want to strip the car.

Be sure and post some pics when you get started!
