Paragraph list

During the renovation, attention was paid to sourcing authentic parts.
The first step involved stripping the car down to its chassis, assessing the extent of the work needed, and planning the renovation meticulously.
Finally, with the bodywork and painting completed, the car began to resemble its original, classic form.

First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of the renovation process. It gives a broad overview of the first step without going into specifics. It does not use any pronouns or definite articles that would need prior context. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with 'It was a project...' which uses a pronoun and does not stand alone.
