Car Restoration Project Planner: Spreadsheet + Printable Pages
Plan, cost and track a car restoration in one place. This planner is a spreadsheet that works in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets, plus 11 printable pages for the garage.
The spreadsheet (8 tabs):
- Start here: how it works, your currency symbol, budget and dates
- The car: make, model, numbers, purchase details and a paperwork checklist
- Budget: plan 14 areas of the car; spending fills in from your parts list, with a planned-vs-spent chart
- Parts & costs: 250 lines with category and status drop-downs (needed, ordered, arrived, fitted, returned) and automatic totals
- Jobs: 150 lines with priority and status, and hours done filled in from the time log
- Time log and Photo log
- Dashboard: spent, left to spend, unpaid bills, parts still to arrive, jobs done, hours logged and days to your target date
Also included: an example copy filled in with made-up entries, so you can see how everything links up.
The printable pages (A4 and US Letter): project sheet, bodywork map (our own car outlines: left, right and from above), budget planner, parts list, jobs checklist, time log, photo log, and notes with a sketch grid.
Files: one zip with the blank .xlsx, the example .xlsx, the A4 PDF, the US Letter PDF and a read-me. Google Sheets: upload the .xlsx to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets. Choose any currency symbol on the Start here tab.
Printing: print at 100% / actual size. The pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; the cover is dark, so start from page 2 to save ink.
The spreadsheet formulas, layouts and car drawings are REALLYBYTE's own work. The car outlines are simple shapes, not any real model.
Licence: for your own personal use. Please don't resell, re-upload or share it publicly.
