I have just spent 2 years working on my daughter's 65 Mustang (Heaven forbid), wondering when we would ever get it up and running. I decided to at least get it mechanically running. It needs a new hood and paint job really bad but if the daughter is willing to drive it "as is" with it's cosmetic imperfections, then maybe you can do the same.......
At this point, I don't know when she'll be ready to turn her car over to me for a paint job for she is having so much fun driving "Red" "As Is". For the past 4 weeks, she's been driving Red every night coming home with a smile on her face. Maybe you need to do the same.
In otherwords, get it running and drive it for awhile. Take a break. Enjoy it. Later you can always take the next step.
