A good place to start would be to acquire a complete shop manual for that vehicle. The information provided within is worth its weight in gold. To locate these books and other parts and services for restoration try picking up the latest edition of "Hemmings Motor News" at your local news stand.
A lot depends on how old of a car and what you mean by completely restoring. To completely restore a car, you basically take it all apart and put it back together. A frame off restoration means you take the body off the frame, sandblast the frame, fix any damage or rust, paint it, and start putting the car back on it. You can probably figure on spending at least a year and $10,000 to $50,000 or more depending on the car and what it may need. Your best bet for most cars is to find one that someone else has done and buy it. Almost anyone who has done one puts more into it than it is ever worth and they end up selling it to try and get their money back. Unless there is sentimental or some other reason to restore a particular car, buying the same model already restored makes more sense.

You could start by being very good for maybe a week. Do some chores, clean your room, or keep it clean! Them when you think the moment to ask is okay, then ask. Start by talking at dinnertime at the table, then if they need to think about it, then make sure you listen to their rules.
