I'm loseing hope!!

Like said before, take your time if you really want to keep the car.... I have been in your shoes my whole life..Not enough money to do what i want to do . But i have managed to keep my cars up and running.. Do one thing at a time, first being to make sure it is safe on the road. It takes time to fix up a 35 plus year old car.. I have had my Dart for 14 years and it still isn't close to what I want it to be. But it does drive and run good and is safe on the road. And that is the most important thing... Good luck with it and keep your head high.
