Back in '65 , I was about your age, bought my first car, a 37 Ruby for £5. Engine and gearbox all in bits, no brakes, no headlights etc. I didn't have a licence, so we towed it home behind my dad's car as we thought it only necessary for the guy in front (My brother) to have a licence !!! Not quite as bad as yours, but still a strip down and then a spray with "Brushing Belco" cellulose. It was my first attempt at spray painting on with a small cup gravity gun. Turned out OK and I passed my test in it.
Wash my mouth out, but I 'sold' my 7 for a 103e 2 years later. The deal was swap the 7 for the Ford and the buyer paid me £25 and a tank of fuel at 4/6p a gallon.
Good luck with your 7 and enjoy it. You will learn far more from a 7 than breaking down in a modern car !
