I have a garage that was built in the late 1940's
It has the original wood soffit and fascia.
There is a few spots of rot on the soffit (soft spots)
But otherwise the wood is good.

I was planning on installing the vinyl directly over the wood.
Then installing gutters (there were never any gutters on the garage.

Anyone see any issues with this?

Depends. :-) Is there enough good wood to attach the gutters? Is the
facia 1" or 1 1/2"? Replace the bad wood before covering and nail the
gutters into the truss ends, not the facia boards. Covering the facia
with vinyl shouldn't be a problem. When covering the soffet, you may
want to use perforated soffit material so that moisture doesn't build
up between the vinyl and the wood, or remove the wood totally.
