I drove my dart onto the trailer in the summer of 2005 and got it off the trailer the same day. then the waiting started.
usually you have 2 scenario's
1.
got money no time, bought little parts and things that I knew were bad just by looking, I found boatloads of bad stuff just by yanking out the interior.
2.
got time now no money, hopefully this happens AFTER you have got some parts to work with, In my case that was what happened.
now I'm doing everything that doesn't cost money and spend extra time getting it just so and making a list of the critical parts that I will need later when money becomes a surplus again. (according to the Wife that'll take a while and don't hold my breath)
and it's in this stage now

it takes time and planning to do it, Wish I had more money but I'll do all I can until the parts and fixes that don't cost anything run out.
hang in there it'll happen.
