Yep, sadly I think we can all relate to that!
Arran offers free postage over £50 tho!
My advice would be to concentrate on one system at a time, and dont get side tracked by trivia. No one is going to care about your LED indicators when OEM rad has just spat coolant down the M1.
I would focus on:
1. Make it go- Get the fuel system sorted, from one end to the other. Hopefully you dont need to buy injectors, but you may
2. Make is stop- braking system. Budget for master cylinder and 4x soft lines. Potentially 4x calipers will need to be rebuilt, so seals and pistons. And of course, the handbrake.
3. At a bare minimum check the suspension very thoroughly, if not for immediate replacement. trailing arm bolts, front ball joints, and lower control arms are all known failure points, and may be long overdue for renewal.
4. Again as a minimum, once the engine runs, make sure the cooling system works, and the fans kick in. Pipework, rads, otterstats and fans are all pretty shit when new, and havent improved over time!
5. Now service it (fluids not yet done, and filters)
6. Now MOT it.
7. Get back to work on the overtime, to pay for 1-6
8. Repeat. 12 months have passed. Everything you have achieved is now fucked, and things that were fine are now fucked too.
Cheers- remember, you only have to stand back and look at it to increase the mojo. No better looking car. Ever.
