I'm loseing hope!!
If money to pay the bills is an issue then the car has to go. Priorities! On the other hand, if you can weather the storm and keep the car, set aside the time and money to fix one thing at a time. A long journey starts with a single step. These cars are all 30 years and older and most have been neglected ,so consider that when it seems overwhelming. Don`t rush, take your time and address one job at a time. Work that one thing until it`s complete. It will eventually get done and with the hard work you put into it the payoff will be even more satisfying.
